London-based recruitment consultancy New Street Group announced that it has acquired Wickland Westcott, a UK-based executive search and consultancy for an undisclosed sum.

Wickland Westcott, founded in 1977, provides executive search, leadership and management consultancy services. Its leadership services include finding and appointing C-suite level positions, coaching, team development, leadership assessment and psychometric testing.

Doug Baird, CEO of New Street Group, commented, “The acquisition of Wickland Westcott further enhances New Street Group’s capability to support organisations seeking intelligent, assessment-led resourcing solutions. This acquisition will allow New Street Group to meet these growing demands, whilst adding further depth and breadth to the services already offered to our clients by our resourcing businesses Interim Partners and BrightPool. This is hopefully the first of many acquisitions we plan to make as we continue to grow and internationalise our business.”

Colin Mercer, Managing Director of Wickland Westcott, also commented, “Clients will continue to benefit from our passion for delivering leadership solutions whilst also gaining access to an enhanced range and depth of capabilities. We look forward to working with Interim Partners and BrightPool to deliver further value for existing and prospective clients and to lead the next stage of Wickland Westcott’s innovation and growth.”
