City recruitment firm Astbury Marsden has been placed in the top twenty-five most successful players within the recruitment industry. The inaugural "Recruiter/Catalyst Corporate Finance 2009 Fast 50" ranks the fastest growing private recruitment businesses in the UK by sales.

Astbury Marsden ranked 23rd based on company sales growth averaging 39% with turnover rising over three years from £12m to £23.5m. This recognition ranks the company amongst other key players such as GRS, Huntress and Aston Carter.

Mark Cameron, Chief Operating Officer at Astbury Marsden, comments: "We are thrilled with this recognition which places Astbury Marsden as a leading player in the recruitment industry. It is a tribute to the hard work that has contributed to the growth of this company into an increasingly international recruitment firm."

Cameron continues "We have recently launched a local office in Hong Kong and we have been encouraged by its performance in what is a difficult time for the industry. We continue to derive an increasing proportion of income from markets outside our traditional UK market. This shows great promise for the opening of more international offices in the medium term and allows us to continue to offer opportunities for talented and ambitious people to share in this exciting future."
