On the move: the latest East Midlands hires

(L-R) Ruby Webster, Sarah Graham, Lee Kemp, Jack Roper, Kieran Gill

Cherry Professional has strengthened with five new hires – including three to cover its Leicester recruitment team – taking staff numbers to 27.

Cherry specialises in accounting and finance, finance clerical, administration and business professionals, and human resources.

Kieran Gill, Lee Kemp, Jack Roper, Ruby Webster and Sarah Graham have been hired as Cherry Professional rebrands with a new website and logo.

Managing director Danielle Asano said: “We have always had a presence in Leicester, but with the increased need for a quality recruitment service we wanted to be able to provide a full, focused solution to all clients and candidates.

“That is the reason we had a recruitment drive ourselves so that we can build on our reputation and help more businesses and candidates achieve their goals and ambitions.

“It’s been an exciting phase for Cherry Professional. We’ve recently launched our new branding and website and it was perfect timing to bring on five additional heads at the same time.”
