IRS Consulting has moved into the sporting arena.

The global executive executive search firm has recently staffed a number of sporting organisations including Premier League and Championship football clubs, as well as cricket and rugby teams to help find senior executives, including chief executives and chief financial officers, sales and marketing directors and commercial directors.

Ian Young, senior partner at IRS Consulting, said: “IRS is delighted to enhance our foundations by moving into the sporting and entertainment sectors.

"These opportunities have been made possible by the strong reputation we already enjoy in several other industries, including: automotive, banking and financial services, construction, engineering, manufacturing, IT, pharmaceuticals and retail. It allows us to expand our global footprint in the executive search industry and fall in line with our firm's planned growth."
