In a move that reflects the continuing demand for HR professionals across all sectors in the UK, Digby Morgan, the UK’s leading specialist HR search and selection consultancy, has made further senior and strategic appointments in its Commerce and Public Sector teams.

Bringing more than 15 years of recruitment experience with her, Kate Mulhall has joined the company from Hays Executive where she spent the last four years focused on executive search assignments for senior HR professionals in the public sector. Prior to joining Hays, Kate spent the previous decade with Michael Page where, latterly, she managed the strategy and consultancy team focused on change and organisational development professionals.

“I’m thrilled to be joining Digby Morgan at this exciting period in the company’s growth,” commented Kate, “and am looking forward to helping further establish the company’s profile as the premier recruiter of HR professionals in the UK public sector.”

A second senior consultant has also joined Digby Morgan’s commerce team. A graduate of the University of Birmingham, Isobel Campbell is another ex-Hays employee having spent the last ten years with the company. She started her career with Hays in the Birmingham office before moving to central London where she concentrated on both large corporate and SME clients in the commercial and financial services sector.  At Digby Morgan, Isobel will be focused on servicing clients’ HR staffing requirements across several commercial and industrial areas with a specific focus on the FMCG and telecommunications sectors.

Commenting on her appointment at Digby Morgan, Isobel said: “Having worked in the recruitment industry for some years, I’ve been more than aware of the leading position held by Digby Morgan within the HR sector. Its longevity and continuing success is hugely impressive and I’m delighted to be joining the company and look forward to helping take the company forward in the next phase of its growth.”

Nicola Grimshaw, Digby Morgan’s director running the Commerce and Public Sector teams, added: "Kate and Isobel are joining us at a very exciting time in our development. Despite much media speculation to the contrary, 2008 continues to be extremely busy with many clients working on expanding their HR teams. This demand means that we’re looking at another record year and we’re delighted to welcome Kate and Isobel to the team at this time. Their specific experience will be a real asset and we’re fully expecting to exploit their extensive experience to boost our profile still further. “
