Michelle Stewart has been appointed to the board of Berry Recruitment Group (BRG).
She has responsibility for BRG’s new finance and senior recruitment division, Antony Berry Associates, and is also overseeing the integration into the group of new London acquisitions Headway Recruitment and The Plus Team.
Stewart co-founded Wild Recruitment in Portsmouth in 2001, and the firm was acquired by BRG ten years later. The Wild brand was retained after the sale and has now extended to the group’s Poole and Milton Keynes locations.
Chairman Tony Berry, who heads the nine-strong board, said: “Wild was a successful company when we acquired it and Michelle has continued to develop the business at a rapid pace. She has made such a positive impact on the whole company that it was completely natural for her to step up.
“Michelle’s energy and ideas will help us to continue to grow both organically and through acquisition within commercial recruitment.”
BRG is headquartered in St Albans, Herts, and now operates from 30 branches across England and Wales, employing more than 180 people.
