Cherry Professional launches new HR division and continues recruitment drive

Cherry Professional Limited, the fast-expanding finance, accountancy and office support recruitment business, is expanding further with the creation of a new HR division.

In response to a growing demand for human resources staff from clients, Cherry Professional is launching a dedicated HR team, headed up by Laura Smith.

Laura is an experienced HR recruiter and will launch the new division, recruiting across the East Midlands.

Speaking about her new role, Laura said: “I’m delighted to be joining Cherry Professional and I’m looking forward to helping our clients across the region find great candidates.”

Martin Burnett, director of Cherry Professional, added: “Our new human resources division was created due to client demand – we listen. We planned it carefully and once we knew we could get Laura we moved very quickly and it is great news for our clients that she’s with us.”

On the back of Laura’s appointment, Cherry Professional is hosting a breakfast seminar entitled “How to hire, so you don’t need to fire!” in October.

Martin adds: “The recovery is on its way and we’re keen to help and provide information on how best to hire and retain staff.”

The seminar will be held on 2 October at the East Midlands Conference Centre. Places are limited, so please visit www.hire-fire.eventbrite.co.uk to book your seat now.

In addition to introducing its new HR division, Cherry Professional has continued to invest in other areas of its business with the appointment of Lucy Clarkson. Lucy recruits for the clerical finance market across Derby.

Before joining Cherry Professional, she completed a year recruiting engineers for contracts in the Netherlands. “I believe building a strong relationship with the client and candidate is vital for success in recruitment,” she said. “I am excited about my future at Cherry Professional.”
