Executive search firm Howgate Sable has been appointed as the UK arm of the global search network, InterSearch.

Howgate Sable is the first representative in the UK for InterSearch, a worldwide partnership of independent executive search firms, which has 90 offices in 45 countries.

Martin Boyle, Leeds-based partner of Howgate Sable, told the Yorkshire Post: “For some time we had been looking for the right framework to develop our international capability and we are delighted to have been appointed by InterSearch as its UK member firm.

“Clients will retain the close contact of a local partner, while the assignment is delivered through a specialised resource in the targeted territory.”

Meanwhile, Howgate Sable has appointed Nick Irving as partner and Ben Grove as senior researcher within the research team.
