Trio of hires are cherry on the cake for growing recruitment consultancy

(L-R): Rory Mattinson, Martin Burnett, Linda Allaway, Danielle Asano and Libby McCaughey

Specialist recruitment consultancy Cherry Professional has announced a trio of new hires and has signalled its intention to create five more jobs across its Nottingham, Derby and Leicester offices.

Having received support from the D2N2 Growth Hub UpScaler Project, the company increased its turnover by 44% from £3.3 million to £4.8 million during the last financial year and is now looking to bolster its finance, administration and business professional divisions even further.

Linda Allaway has joined the 30-strong firm to manage the administration and business professional division, bringing 20 years of experience to the role, while Libby McCaughey joins as graduate marketing assistant and Rory Mattinson comes on-board as a graduate recruiter.

Managing director Danielle Asano told TheBusinessDesk.com that the company is now looking to double its turnover and employ five more staff.

She said: “From the moment we started upscaling we always wanted to grow the business and take our finance, admin and business professional divisions to the next level.

“We have invested heavily in all areas of the business and that’s why we’ve grown so successfully. We are still looking for more recruitment consultants and intend to create five more positions across our East Midlands offices. This is a really exciting time for us.”

The company, established by directors Danielle Asano and Martin Burnett in 2009, began trading at Beeston Business Centre before it made the move to Nottingham city centre and subsequently established three more offices across the region in Derby, Leicester and Lincoln.
