Forsyth Barnes, executive talent partner, has officially moved into their new state-of the-art London office in Moorgate, promising to provide colleagues with an open, inviting space to promote collaboration and enhanced client offering.
Amid a global downturn in the recruitment sector throughout 2023, characterised by widespread downsizing, dwindling profits, and a reluctance among clients to seek external talent solutions, Forsyth Barnes defied the prevailing trend by achieving remarkable growth. Surpassing their revenue from 2022 within a mere ten months into 2023, Forsyth Barnes emerged as a beacon of resilience and strategic expertise in an otherwise challenging landscape.
“We are thrilled to open our new London office, marking a significant milestone in Forsyth Barnes’ journey to become the fastest-growing company in the world.” said the company’s co-founder, Scott Parsons. “It is a testament to our resilience and, strategic vision, and I have no doubt that our new London office will serve as a hub for collaboration and innovation, further strengthening our ability to provide outstanding service to clients and fueling our growth even in challenging times”.
The new office offers ample space for team growth and productivity. Featuring a cutting-edge media wall equipped with a 98-inch screen, it provides an ideal environment for seamless collaboration with teams from the Nottingham and New York City offices. Moreover, it functions as a versatile venue for hosting intimate client events and facilitates improved delivery of training and development sessions for their people, thereby nurturing their professional advancement and skill refinement.
Additionally, a designated wellbeing room plays a pivotal role in supporting their overarching Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) strategy. This versatile space serves multiple functions, including providing a private area for prayer, accommodating personal phone calls that require discretion, and affording new parents returning to work a private setting to ease their transition back into the professional world.
With space to house over double what their previous office space had, this presents an exceptional opportunity for the expansion of their London teams specialising in recruitment within Sports and Entertainment as well as the FinTech sectors.
