Barclay Simpson was established in the UK in 1989 to provide a specialist internal and IT audit recruitment service. During the past 20 years new specialisations have been incrementally added. We are now able to offer the entire suite of skills that together are known as corporate governance, including:

  • Internal & Computer Audit
  • Regulatory Compliance
  • Legal
  • Business Continuity
  • Risk
  • Information Security
  • Treasury
  • Interim Solutions


In putting together this service nothing has been rushed or quickly pieced together. The extent and depth of our expertise has grown and matured and is indicative of the service level that Barclay Simpson is able to offer both candidates and clients. Advice and guidance based on twenty years of experience and an extensive team of recruitment consultants who, when you speak and deal with them, are genuine consultants able to offer an expert service. Barclay Simpson not only recruits the best consultants in the industry, it also retains them, providing a continuity of service that is unique.

The incremental approach that Barclay Simpson has used to build our expertise in corporate governance is being rolled out geographically. Having provided recruitment services to the Middle East since 1992, Barclay Simpson opened an office in Dubai in 2009, just when many recruitment companies were scaling back or closing their offices there. This is a testament to the financial strength of Barclay Simpson and a decision making process that is not based on short term economic or market considerations. You will be able to rely on Barclay Simpson providing a corporate governance recruitment service regardless of market conditions. We are in the Middle East. From our initial base in Dubai, we will stay and expand in the Middle East for many years to come.
