Norman Broadbent ( (GB:NBB) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Norman Broadbent plc, the AIM-quoted executive search and interim management group, has acquired Society Limited, a London-based certified B Corporation focused on board-level recruitment in the third sector and travel and hospitality markets. Society’s five-strong team will be integrated into the Group but will continue to trade under the Society brand, enhancing Norman Broadbent’s sector specialisms and diversifying its revenue base.
