Ever since we opened for business in 2008, HB International has continued to enjoy huge success and to expand our sector and global coverage. In our second and third year we doubled our profit and last year we enjoyed a 50% increase. Put simply, we know what's needed to take a business to the highest level.
What's more, as part of highly successful entrepreneur James Caan's Hamilton Bradshaw group - the UK's leading investment firm operating in the recruitment sector and one of the world's Top 50 Recruitment companies - HB International enjoys the best of both worlds. We're operationally independent and flexible yet at the same time enjoy the benefits of being able to tap into a larger group of companies.
Our focus is clear too. We want to create wealth for everyone involved in exciting new joint ventures and equity schemes. With our network of contacts, broad industry expertise and total financial security, we can provide you with much more than just finance. We have a strong, dedicated methodology that's specifically designed to invest and support, be it an individual, a start up or a well-established company. And don't forget that our chairman, James Caan, has made his career out of starting up and investing in recruitment companies, so you can be sure when we mention the word equity, we really mean business.

A highly regarded Commodities Head Hunter with 11 years' market experience had a vision - to be number one in his field. Already working with an established boutique energy search firm where he had built an unrivalled reputation as a leading energy and commodity headhunter, he was approached by HB International in December 2009 with a view to building a commodities franchise.
From our initial dialogue we could see that he was firmly committed to building his own enterprise. We were also inspired by his business plan and potential cultural fit. Accordingly we offered him investment and support, including the direct involvement of James Caan. Subsequently, through modelling and due diligence it was clear a partnership/joint venture would accelerate the business proposal.
In March 2010 HBI Commodities (HBIC) was formed and that same individual, is now Managing Director and Partner. Already a highly successful entity, HBIC has a strong team of ex-industry professionals, whilst future plans include having global offices in all major energy hubs. Support and mentoring has also filtered through the entire commodities team and helped key hires transact retained mandates within just weeks of starting.
