Our History
Firth Ross Martin Associates was established in 1983 with the goal to become one of the most reputable global infrastructure executive search firms.
Since our start, we have successfully grown a team of functional experts with extensive market knowledge, experience of building senior leadership teams, and advising on best practice talent management for blue chip clients across the globe.
The firm initially had dedicated practice areas in technology, operations and corporate real estate. We have now subsequently grown the business offering to include legal and compliance, risk, interim management, and business consultancy.
Originally we were the executive search arm of The Blomfield Group, the largest privately run UK recruitment company at the time, with sister companies, Joslin Rowe and Origin HR.
In April 2006, the board of the Blomfield Group sold a controlling interest to Vedior, who at the time were the fourth largest staffing company in the world. In May 2008, our current parent company, the Randstad Group acquired Vedior.
Randstad is the second largest recruitment agency in the world, with over 4,100 offices in 44 countries, employing over 500,000 staff a day. Being part of the Randstad Group gives us access to an unrivalled global network of potential candidates.
