We are delighted to announce that Farrow Jamieson and Sheffield South Island, two of the longest operating brands in search and recruitment in New Zealand, have joined forces to combine their expertise in executive level search, recruitment, organisational development, board, and leadership advisory services.

Mike Stenhouse (Sheffield SI GM) and Iain MacGibbon (Farrow Jamieson MD) will stay on in each of their respective operations, leading the same teams, with no change in staffing, office locations, or work programmes.

The names of each firm will also remain the same, cementing each valuable brand in the marketplace while combining their coverage of New Zealand’s South Island. 

Sheffield North Island will continue to operate exclusively in its territory. Managing Director Ian Taylor remains the sole owner of Sheffield North Island.

Iain MacGibbon said the merger was a logical move, given the synergies between the two firms in size and operations, and the benefits of greater reach within the South Island.
