Specialist HR Recruitment Consultancy Macmillan Davies has expanded its network of UK offices as demand for specialist permanent and interim HR talent continues to grow. The firm has opened its new Midlands office in Birmingham’s business and financial quarter, which will be led by its newest recruit and associate director Nicola Morris.
A specialist in HR recruitment since 2015, Nicola brings experience gained from working in both in-house HR roles and within recruitment agencies and in-house talent acquisition teams. Over the last ten years, she has placed hundreds of candidates in a range of disciplines and seniority, from junior executives to C-suite and CPO.
Darren Hayman, managing director of Macmillan Davies, comments: “Since day one, Birmingham and the Midlands have been an integral geographic market for Macmillan Davies.
“Birmingham is the perfect link between our Manchester and London offices, and the new office means we have now filled the missing piece in our armoury. Birmingham is a hive of economic activity, with a thriving business community, further fuelled by the significant amount of investment being ploughed into the city, and our central city location means our Midlands team is at its heart.
“We are already working with Midlands-based clients,” he adds, “and having a Birmingham office presence, reinforces and supports our commitment to the region. Personally, I am thrilled we are growing our Birmingham and Midlands based offering as we continue to earn our place as the UK’s leading provider of HR talent.”
On joining Macmillan Davies, Nicola says: “I am very excited to be joining the firm and using my experience to lead and develop its offering across Birmingham and the Midlands. The opportunity to join such a well-established, specialist HR talent search and recruitment business, feels the natural next step for me and my career.
“I love that Macmillan Davies has such a powerful reputation, long history and is well-known for its pure HR specialism, and that we share the same core values, especially providing a highly professional yet personal service to HR professionals and clients alike. I am excited to become part of such a dedicated team and particularly for the next 12-months, which will see me lead the development of our Midlands offering, working closely with the existing North West and London teams, and connecting with people I have worked with previously from across the HR profession, in order to support Macmillan Davies’ ambitious growth plans.”
As the UK’s longest established HR recruitment consultancy, Macmillan Davies specialises in recruiting the top HR talent across the public, private and third sectors – both in the UK and globally. The firm has seen a surge in demand for its services over the last 6 months which Darren Hayman, Managing Director at the firm believes is a sign the business is recovering from the dual threats of Covid and the impact of the exit from the European Union. Nicola will be working alongside Nick Allwood, Regional Director, and Head of the Manchester office to grow the firm’s regional offering.
