 Expansion into the North of England driven by increased client demand

Norman Broadbent (AIM: NBB) - a leading London quoted Professional Services firm offering a diversified portfolio of integrated Leadership Acquisition & Advisory Services (Board & Leadership Search, Senior Interim Management, Research & Insight, Leadership Consulting & Assessment, and executive-level Talent Solutions) - is pleased to make the following update regarding operational expansion.

Due to increasing client demand, the Company announces the opening of operations in the North of England. Based in Cheshire and with easy access to Manchester, other commercial centres, the airport, and transport networks, the new office will provide a base for Norman Broadbent Group's local team to better serve clients across the North, North-West, North-East and Scotland.

John Begley, Managing Director, said: "The Centre for Cities Think Tank annual report last year showed that the North has been "transformed" by a period of rapid regeneration which has seen population and job growth far exceeding that of London. Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool have seen the fastest growth out of all UK cities in the UK. Our locally based team will leverage our full range of services from Interim Management, Board and C-suite Executive Search, and Leadership Consulting through to Research & Insight. All our services are tailored to meet individual company needs and focused on delivering successful outcomes at the right price and on time."

Mike Brennan, Chief Executive of Norman Broadbent Group added: "As a Talent Advisory & Acquisition business with a 40-year heritage, it will come as little surprise that just over half of our business comes from outside London. Increasingly, we are finding our clients based in the North want local knowledge and national expertise to help support their People Agenda. This client demand has led us to invest further and open this new office".
