Team Capital expands executive search in aerospace and defence

Team Capital Aerospace & Defence, a fast-growing global recruitment specialist in A&D Military, Civil and Commercial markets, announced today that its customer and revenue growth has accelerated significantly in the first half of 2008.

Team Capital Aerospace & Defence has seen revenue growth of 49 per cent in the last year and is aiming to further increase revenues in the next 12 months as it embarks upon an ambitious growth strategy.

David Pierce Hallahan, International Director at Team Capital said: ìOur Aerospace & Defence business has made significant steps forward during the last 24 months. Key initiatives have been implemented which will go a long way to setting the foundations for our aspirations in the medium to long term.î

Two years ago, the company opened its first US office in California, and Team Capital will strengthen its A&D executive search business with a new office in London in the coming months.

With a market shift towards spending in Civil Security and the establishment of a pure Civil Security offering, Team Capital A&D has been able to expand market penetration in both Civil Security, Defence and Commercial Aerospace over the past five years.

Civil Security today represents a key focus for Team Capital and covers Borders, Airports, Seaports, Critical Infrastructure, Large Events and Mass Transit. Recent significant recruitment engagements executed by Team Capital include mid to senior level management roles across key functional areas for a Defence & Security Prime Integrator with operations in more than five countries, a Tier 1 Aerospace Systems Supplier in Europe, and a Prime Integrator in Aerospace & Defence.

ìWe are extremely pleased with the strong progress weíre making in 2008, particularly in Civil Security markets, and our success in expanding our global client base,î Hallahan adds. ìOur momentum demonstrates that our network of relationships, market expertise, research capability and international footprint will continue to make 2008 a defining year for Team Capital A&Dî.
