Digby Morgan Appoints New Consultants to its Interims Division in London and the Thames Valley Offices

In a move that reflects the burgeoning demand for interim HR professionals across all sectors and regions in the UK, Digby Morgan, the UK’s leading specialist HR search and selection consultancy, has made three senior and strategic appointments in its interims division in both its London headquarters and in its Reading-based Thames Valley office.

Andy Montgomery has joined Digby Morgan’s Thames Valley operation to manage and develop the interim market within the region. An experienced recruitment professional having spent the last nine years within the Reed Recruitment Group, Andy was most recently a National Recruitment Manager responsible for the management and development of several large national contracts, including one of the UK's leading banks.

Nicola Grimshaw, Digby Morgan’s director responsible for running the Thames Valley office, said:

“We’re delighted to welcome Andy on board. He’s joining the Thames Valley team at a very exciting time as the new office is set to have a fantastic first year and the demand for interim HR staff remains extremely buoyant.”

Andy Montgomery added: “I”m thrilled to be joining such an established market leader within the HR sector like Digby Morgan and am looking forward to further developing the interim business in the Thames Valley region.”

A further key appointment in the company’s interim division has also been made and Gordon Whyte, the Digby Morgan director running the company’s overall interims division, introduces this second new senior consultant:

“As well as the expansion in Reading, we’re also rapidly building the London-based interims team and the latest recruit to this team is Rachel Dow. Rachel has specialised for some years in financial services recruitment having spent time with both Parker Bridge and Witan Jardine. She will be taking responsibility for mid to senior level interim HR placements for a range of professional and financial services clients.”

The third senior appointment in Digby Morgan’s interim division is Kerryn Hooper who has recently arrived in the UK from her native Australia. Kerryn has many years of recruitment experience in several fields including HR and the financial services sector. Latterly she spent three years running a team of eight recruiters at Brisbane-based Davidson Recruitment.

“The UK’s interim HR sector is booming and I’m thrilled to have landed such a great role with the UK’s leading HR recruitment specialist in my first position since arriving in the country,” concluded Kerryn Hooper.
