As one of the UK’s fastest-growing independent Executive Search firms, Parkinson Lee is the team of choice to help companies based in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and the East Midlands find and appoint outstanding Business Leaders, Board Directors, and Senior Executives.
Right from the get-go we presented Lee with a set of challenges: how do we refresh the board of a 102-year-old well-loved company with great people who would respect our existing culture and legacy while adding value to our future plans and enhancing our diversity and inclusion desires? These challenges meant that Lee had to dig deeper to find suitable candidates. The outcome was brilliant and Lee maintained the momentum throughout and delivered an outstanding service.

About Parkinson Lee
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not merely a buzzword but a transformative force reshaping the way we live and work. At its core, AI refers to the field of computer systems designed to perform tasks that traditionally demanded human intelligence. This innovative technology enables us to automate mundane tasks, predict future outcomes, and even create artwork.
Automative AI = replacing manual tasks with AI-driven systems, streamlining operations, reducing errors, and boosting efficiency.
Augmentative AI = working in tandem with human capabilities, enhancing decision-making, creativity, and problem-solving.
Generative AI = a subshot of Augmentative AI, creating written and visual content based on human prompts.
