Boyden Global Executive Search Expands Interim Management Division in Europe

-- Growth Includes Acquisition of Interim Management Group
Execbank and Hiring of Tim Blackstone in UK --
LONDON--(Business Wire)--
Boyden, a global leader in executive search, today announced that
it will be reuniting its executive search and interim management
businesses in the UK and expanding the firm's interim management
division in Europe. Boyden's interim business continues to grow due to
the increased activity in merger and acquisitions, turnarounds,
transitions and crisis management.

In addition, Boyden has acquired Execbank Ltd, a UK-based boutique
interim management business set up by Patrique Habboo, and the firm
has hired Tim Blackstone to further strengthen its interim management
offering.

A recognised industry expert, Patrique Habboo has been a speaker
at numerous seminars on interim management including London Business
School, RAC Club, Grosvenor House Hotel and other impressive venues.
Prior to setting up Execbank, he led the growth of Praxis Executives
on Assignment from 1999-2006, spanning both the public and private
sectors.

Tim Blackstone was until recently a director at Brooklands
Executives and has been a respected force in the interim management
business for several years. Following a successful international
marketing career, Mr. Blackstone became both a buyer of interim
management and an interim executive himself. He is now acknowledged as
a top provider in the sector.

"Merging our executive search and interim management divisions
will further strengthen a fast-growing segment of Boyden," said Chris
Clarke, President and CEO of Boyden World Corporation. "Today, finding
the right interim executive often requires global access to top
management and the deeper synergies will provide a 360 degree solution
for our clients."

"We are delighted to be reuniting Boyden's executive search and
interim management," said Samantha Allen, Boyden UK's Managing
Director. "I am confident that we will serve our clients better by
integrating the two business streams and managing them from a single
location. Patrique and his team, together with Tim, add significant
strength to our interim offering."
