First formed in 1989 as Christopher Hamblyn Associates, the company grew rapidly achieving an excellent reputation for their professionalism and for the level of integrity given to each assignment.

In 1998 the company was restructured. Hamblyn Executive Selection, Hamblyn Media Selection and Hamblyn International Selection were formed, all working under the Hamblyn Selection name.

The company was acquired 1700 Group prior to floating onto Aim in January 2008.

Today the Hamblyn business has a focus in the media and advertising industry at senior and intermediate level across all disciplines.
