Search and selection consultancy, Grays Executive Search, has headed north in its latest expansion with the opening of a new office in Newcastle.
The move comes a few weeks after the firm, which specialises in senior and board-level recruitment across a range of sectors, opened its Birmingham office, and six months after its launch.
Dylan Christie has been appointed director of the Newcastle office. He has 15 years’ experience in senior-level recruitment, including working for some of the UK’s largest recruiters, as well as experience of running his own boutique recruitment agency in the city.
Christie said: “With the huge level of investment and growth in the North East, from world-class firms to new developments such as Science Central, there is a rising demand for top-level people in the region. We also have an exciting new economy – technology, media and telecoms, along with established industries such as automotive, financial and petrochemical businesses.
“Personally, working for Grays was a good fit because it encourages entrepreneur drive and ambition, while I also now have all the support and contacts of a nationwide business, along with my own local expertise and connections.”
