ExecutiveSurf arrives in France

Executive Surf continues to strengthen its European operations with the opening of its French office in Paris.

In 2008, ExecutiveSurf extended its commercial presence into Poland and the Czech Republic, and opened its Asia-Pacific hub in Sydney and has further European and Asian offices planned for 2009; with Germany, China and Spain in the pipeline.

Rod Bailey, ExecutiveSurfís CEO, said: ìFrance represents a key step in our expansion plans. Our model is global but business tends to evolve out of hubs. France is one such hub, both from a historical/cultural view, but also from a sector expertise perspective.î

He added: ì We are looking to exploit this bridge into Africa, the Far East and also central Europe, whilst strengthening our hand in the management consultancy, niche technology, utilities and automotive sectors, where we have traditionally had a strong French client base.î

ìMuch is often made of the differences between the Anglo-Saxon and the French models, but Iím convinced that if you scratch the surface, we have pretty similar approaches.î

ExecutiveSurf (www.executivesurf.com) has been a leader in the executive e-recruitment sector, since its birth in 2000. Headquartered in London, with offices in Milan, Prague, Warsaw, Sydney and now France, the company has an annual compound growth of over 95%, driven by one of the broadest web-based executive communities in Europe.
