Established in May 2005, Mackenzie Stuart was founded to deliver bespoke, sector-specific services & expertise and in doing so, establish a new standard within Executive Search. We have an impressive pedigree, with our Directors’ having over a combined 50 years experience within the industry. They have used this knowledge to position Mackenzie Stuart in a unique way with the business making over 90% of its placements internationally, meaning we are a true Global Executive Search firm. Today, we remain an innovative, results-driven business that prides itself on delivering one-to-one service, accurate market insight and proven business acumen. Our highly tailored approach to recruitment places lasting client relationships before short-term gains & makes openness, integrity and honesty a priority. We also understand the need to consider each and every position as unique – wherever in the world it may be. From our offices in Leeds, London, Dubai and Harrogate, we provide retained and contingency recruitment solutions across industry and have specialist recruitment consultants that work within the Medical & Scientific, Healthcare, Education, Water, Chemicals, Ingredients & Flavours, Automation, Industrial and Logistics sectors. Having set up another ten executive search firms, our group now comprises over 250 consultants and £25m annual revenues having grown from one company and just 17 consultants in 2010. In early 2021 we also completed the £ multi million sale of the first additional company we set up, by then an £12m turnover business. Our growth plans remain as ambitious with plans to increase to over 400 consultants and £40m in revenues by 2026, as well as starting MBO's with multiple group subsidiaries.
