Aviation Executive Search
In 2011 we integrated Marlborough within TRANSEARCH International, one of the world's top ten retained executive search firms. As a result we are now able to leverage the resources of over 60 offices worldwide and offer International candidate profiles from aviation as well as a diverse range of industry sectors. Our dedication to quality is underscored by our membership of AESC (The Association of Executive Search Consultants).
Finding world class talent requires true partnership
TRANSEARCH / Marlborough is committed to forming long-term relationships rather than one-off transactional deals. Over 80% of assignments originate from client or candidate referrals, or as a result of direct repeat business. It is a testament to our organisation's reputation that many candidates have chosen to remain with us throughout their entire careers.
When it comes to the identification and selection of senior management, finding the 'right fit' is the bedrock of any Search process. We are committed to providing a shortlist of candidates who exactly match our client's criteria - and are prepared to search far and wide to find such talent.

For the past decade we have assisted international airports in quickly and accurately identifying specific leadership competencies. This in turn has enabled swift organisational change and a clear competitive edge.

As a result we can confidently lay claim to being able to personally contact upwards of 25,000 senior-level aviation executives worldwide. We are also active World Business Partners within ACI (Airports Council International).
