A recruitment firm has announced it will be creating 100 graduate jobs in Cardiff.
Hamlyn Williams will be moving to Wales after receiving backing from the Welsh Government, beating offers from around the world, including South Africa.
The specialist executive financial services recruitment company will be based in Capital Tower. The company already has offices in London, New York, Hong Kong and Dubai.
Economy Secretary Ken Skates said:
We have a lot to offer to financial and professional service sector businesses. We have already attracted big-hitters like Deloitte to Wales, and I am delighted to welcome Hamlyn Williams to join the list of prestigious companies who have enjoyed growth and prosperity here.
As a University city, Cardiff can offer a rich resource of young, talented graduates who will be ideally placed to feed Hamlyn Williams’ newest venture, and I wish them every success.
The company will join a financial and professional services sector that employs some 136,000 people across Wales.
Founder and CEO of Hamlyn Williams’ Nick Vaughan said:
Cardiff is the ideal place for us to begin our new chapter. The University will supply a strong feed of dynamic young graduates who will bring their enthusiasm and energy to our company.
We are very happy to have found a home in Wales, and look forward to a fruitful future here.
