THANK YOU...

Congratulations to everyone on an impressive performance for 2022 During this last year we have grown the size of the company, increased our stature in the market and developed the range of solutions that we offer to our clients.

Let's highlight some of our achievements....

Our Global Functions team has cemented its position as a trusted advisor to Citi, where they are called upon for the most senior executive searches, while also building similar reputations at HSBC, Barclays, Credit Suisse, AMEX and within the FinTech sector.

In our CTS Technology sector team we continue to work with exciting start up and growth businesses that are changing the world we live in, spanning deep tech, software and biotech We have recently welcomed both Symbiosis and the team in San Francisco allowing us to increase our impact and coverage of such an exciting sector.

Within the CTS Services practice we have continued our excellent work with major clients such as EY, Deloitte, IBM, KPMG and Newton whilst also winning new logos including Clarivate and Alvarez & Marsal that have produced significant revenue this year.

The Global Real Assets team have grown expertise across Real Estate, Infrastructure and Energy and hold a stellar reputation in the industry, working with a range of clients including Partners Group, Cerberus and Blackstone, which through cross selling is becoming a key account for the wider Sheffield Haworth group.

We give credit to the Global Banking team who have persevered through a difficult period and conducted high profile searches for a number of well known institutions that include HSBC, Bank of America, Credit Suisse, Barclays, UBS, Truist and demonstrated entrepreneurial spirit in developing new clients such as TD, Latif & Company and Evans & Partners and successfully introducing Leadership Advisory for a project with Santander Similarly our people in Global Markets have worked tirelessly during the year to hold onto a leading position with Bank of America whilst winning impressive mandates at Barclays and Credit Agricole.

Our Insurance team has grown this year which is now a recognised as a leader in the Insurtech sector and through prolific marketing is building a profile across the wider industry

The Wealth and Asset Management team hold their stature as industry leaders, not only in the traditional, alternative and wealth sectors but we have also been one of the first companies to build a specialism in ESG, which in addition to the impressive work conducted by Interim, Change Consulting and Leadership Advisory demonstrates our capability to provide innovative solutions to clients. A special mention is also due to the US WAM team who have generated more than $10mn in fees, a truly impressive achievement

It is also worthy to note our global expansion where this year we have seen the teams in the Middle East, India, Australia and China elevate the Sheffield Haworth brand through their industry leading reputations.

As we continue on our path to be the leading talent consulting company we have grown the Change Consulting team and we have delivered major projects and solutions for Morgan Stanley, M&G and Bank of America We also made an important step in establishing a Strategic Client Research and Advisory practice, which under the leadership of Richard Stein got off to a running start and will be a differentiator for us going forwards. Data and intelligence are increasingly important to our clients and with this in mind we are delighted to welcome Jubayer Kalam to lead the exciting growth of our TALNT product.

Thank you once again to everybody for making this a great year.
