Flying in the face of recent negative sector news and in a move that reflects the continuing demand for talented HR professionals across all sectors in the UK, Digby Morgan has made further senior and strategic appointments in its London and Thames Valley offices.

Digby Morgan's 1st anniversary in the Thames Valley is being celebrated by the arrival of two experienced new consultants. Lee Krawczyk-Brown has joined Digby Morgan’s Thames Valley office as a senior consultant in the company’s interim appointments team. Prior to joining Digby Morgan, Lee was with David Chorley International and, latterly, Davis Green where he spent six years as a Manager. Lee's specialism is within the interim sector where his clients have included some major blue chips as well as a number of niche and SME organisations.

Debbie Ranwell has also joined the Thames Valley team. Debbie, who previously ran her own boutique recruitment business in the region, joins the company in the team responsible for placing entry to mid level HR professionals.

Commenting on her appointment, Debbie said: "I’m looking forward to contributing to the continued success of the Thames Valley office and especially to consolidating my knowledge and experience of recruiting in the Reading area in a challenging but exciting market phase. Knowing that I am joining the premier specialist in HR recruitment is especially confidence inspiring as I know that in testing times, Digby Morgan's significant expertise will be absolutely crucial to the ongoing commercial success of the region"

Digby Morgan's London office has also been adding to its experienced ranks and Julie Nicol has joined as a consultant in the London team responsible for placing entry to mid level HR professionals. Julie spent the last three years at Hanson Search working on specialising in marketing communications recruitment and is delighted to be joining the HR sector leader.

"With a couple of jobs under my belt I felt that I was ready to move up and face the challenges of working for what is the leading HR recruitment business in Europe,” said Julie. “It’s a really exciting industry right now and I’m looking forward to helping the company further exploit the opportunities in this still buoyant market."

Lindsay Holland has been appointed as a consultant and joins the London team looking after HR professionals from entry to mid level. Lindsay spent the last four and a half years working for Allen Associates, an independent Oxfordshire consultancy. She joined the company as a trainee in 2004 and enjoyed seeing the company and their reputation go from strength to strength. Lindsay contributed heavily to the growth of their Marketing and PR division, although the company also had other divisions in HR, Finance and PA/Administration. Having gained a strong introduction to the recruitment industry, she felt the time was right to join a bigger agency with a different specialism and was particularly attracted to the HR industry. Lindsay is excited about using her experience to develop relationships with clients and candidates, old and new, and continue to expand her knowledge of the HR profession as a whole.

Alister Jenkins graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2006 after reading philosophy. After travelling and working for a while in Switzerland, Alister began his career in recruitment in the IT sector. After seven months with his first recruitment company, he began to look at other options within the industry. After attending the associate consultant day at Digby Morgan, Alister was convinced that HR recruitment, and Digby Morgan in particular, was the best place to progress and build his long term career.

“With just a few months experience in recruitment, I was pleasantly surprised with Digby Morgan’s approach and how everyone was so genuinely friendly and seemed to really enjoy their work” said Alister. “The associate consultant day was very enjoyable and stress free and I was very quickly sold on the role and the ethics and principles of the company. I’m looking forward to bringing some of the skills I have learnt within recruitment to my new role and also learning lots of new techniques to further develop my candidate and client relationship skills.”
