Forrester Manns was founded by Greg Forrester and Bob Manns in 2001 specialising in executive search for the Australian Financial Markets.

In 2002 Greg and Bob acquired a Perth based recruitment company, Shelton Partners Recruitment, which serviced the Accounting and Legal sectors. The office was situated in West Perth amongst the head offices of some of Australia’s major mining operations. After making contact with several of these operators, Greg and Bob identified a shift in the resources sector which ultimately led to the current mining boom.

Today, Forrester Manns is an executive search consultancy with offices in Perth, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. Forrester Manns services not only the Mining Industry but also the Engineering and Construction Industries.
