Gordon Roy joins as a senior consultant in the Executive Search team, bringing with him over 23 years’ recruitment experience working with businesses throughout the professional services, business advisory and private equity sectors.

Research analyst June Hutchinson has joined the Talent Intelligence team in Leeds, where she will draw on data and market intelligence to support clients with talent strategies. Tom Studds has joined as an apprentice in the Business Partners team and will provide intermediate compliance and finance support across the firm.

Doug Baird, CEO of New Street Consulting Group, commented: “We’ve been working hard to expand our teams across the UK, from Leeds to London, as we recruit ahead of the curve. Organisations are continuing to prioritise people management and increasingly taking a more strategic view of this amidst market uncertainty.

“Adding to our team’s experience and expertise ensures we have the knowledge and bandwidth to meet local demand in Yorkshire and across the UK.”
