iSource Group, the Leeds based recruitment company that specialises in IT and digital appointments, has appointed non-executive director Andy Brown to the boards of its recruitment operation and networking business The Yorkshire Mafia.

The specialist recruitment consultancy which also is the home of The Yorkshire Mafia networking organisation, has experienced substantial growth in recent years, doubling its turnover, while also setting its sights on becoming one of the leading niche recruitment services firms in the UK.

As a result, iSource Group’s managing director and Yorkshire Mafia chairman Geoff Shepherd, said: “When I made the decision to build up our board, I already had someone in mind, who I knew would help us to meet the challenges ahead.  I’ve worked with Andy previously and I know he has the experience, skills, approach and drive to help us navigate through this growth period and develop a solid strategy to keep us heading in the right direction.”

Mr Brown has implemented successful change strategies as senior executive for companies such as ASDA, Boots, Sky TV and The Burton Group. He has also delivered large scale transformation programmes for businesses of all sizes across the UK and North America and was the interim chief executive that turned around Wakefield-based YPO.
