Grant Hutchison
Grant Hutchison has been appointed head of eTail – permanent at executive recruitment firm Forsyth Barnes.
Originally hired as an associate consultant with seven months experience, in the space of five years he has received five promotions.
Hutchison is also at the forefront of Forsyth Barnes’ international expansion to the US. He’ll be opening the New York office this year, relocating with his brother, who is also employed with Forsyth Barnes, and four others.
Director Scott Parsons said: “Grant has worked unbelievably hard during the five years he’s worked here, joining as an associate consultant with less than a year’s recruitment experience, to now leading our entire Etail division!
“Career achievements aside, Grant has been someone I’ve always been so incredibly proud to work alongside.
“His drive, ethic and commitment to personal best as well as dedication towards helping others be the best that they can be is inspiring and infectious, and I can think of no one more deserving of such a massive promotion.”
