“We received a large number of applicants for all of the new roles, and so we were in a good position to choose the very best candidates.

“Our clients are sophisticated, and we need people with the right skillsets to work with them combined with a positive, can-do approach that fits with our team ethos.

“We are delighted to welcome our five newcomers and are pleased to announce Samantha’s well-deserved promotion.

“It is gratifying to be in a position where we can support them all in developing their careers during such a period as we find ourselves in, which in turn comes from some of the region’s leading businesses seeking out HURST for support.
