In the new world economies companies in the industrial & energy sectors are facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities and these are exciting times for the most ambitious, progressive and innovative businesses in the sector. In many cases, Asia and Eastern Europe are critical to their plans, not only as centers for lower-cost production but perhaps more importantly as increasingly wealthy and attractive end markets.

The energy sector is an important sub-sector and a regular target for private equity interest. Private equity and venture capital interest in the energy sector has increased dramatically in recent years due to the growing political and commercial awareness of the need for investment, particularly in cleantech and green technology.

The industrial sector is wide ranging and we are often asked to identify board level candidates for the following industries including:

•          Automotive

•          Building products & construction

•          Commercial aerospace & defence

•          Chemicals, plastics & synthetic materials

•          Energy and waste management

•          Food & drink manufacturing

•          Hi-tech materials

•          Instrumentation and measuring devices
