LONDON, February 28, 2011 - Following the release of its 16th annual list of hot executive jobs,
global search firm CTPartners has identified what it predicts will be the top
UK growth sectors and executive roles in 2011 as businesses shift from
caution to competition.

the fact that not creating new jobs carries a punishing price. Despite
