From its well-established position as a major player in the information and communications technology ('ICT') sector the Group has broadened the base of its operations by building fast-growing businesses serving the banking and finance, accountancy, human resources, engineering, energy and pharmaceuticals sectors. Following the establishment of its first business, Computer Futures, in 1986, the Group adopted a multi-brand strategy. SThree currently operates 12 separately managed brands, the four largest being Computer Futures, Huxley Associates, Progressive and Pathway, and has 33 offices in the UK and 19 overseas offices, 15 elsewhere in Europe, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany and Ireland.
