North-West England executive search firm Mawdsley has reported a 50% rise in turnover against the same point in 2010.

Chief executive Paul Mawdsley says that this growth comes as the Lancashire, Merseyside and Greater Manchester areas have reinvigorated in the past 12 months.

Mawdsley adds that professional services, engineering, manufacturing, private medical care and transport were seeing particular growth in these regions.

The company is also offering a new guarantee whereby it will perform an executive search for free when the position becomes available after a previous candidate found by the company leaves within 12 months.
