Blusource Professional, a division of Midlands-based search and selection consultancy, The Blusource Group, has added to its dynamic team with the appointment of interim and contract specialist, Chris Colegate.

Joining the company from Michael Page International and with vast experience in the financial recruitment sector, Colegate takes up the position of associate with Blusource Professional and will be responsible for all the division's interim and contract clients, working from newly qualified accountant through to finance director level.

Divisional director, Ben Walker said: "Blusource Professional has ambitious growth plans and is developing an enviable reputation as not only the default choice for finance professionals but also as the leading employer of recruitment professionals in the accountancy sector. The interim side of the business has huge potential and Chris is exactly the calibre of consultant we were looking for to spearhead its progress. His approach and work ethic fit seamlessly with the overall culture of Blusource Professional and we look forward to extending our portfolio of services with this appointment."

Colegate added: "Many recruitment consultancies are tarnished with the reputation as cut-throat, sales orientated businesses whose end result is a short and snappy transaction. What appeals to me about Blusource is the company's focus on building a long-term, mutually beneficial, working relationship with the client or candidate to support business and career development. I am greatly looking forward to adopting this refreshing approach in my new role."

Nottinghamshire born and bred, Chris is a keen sports fan supporting Leicester Tigers, he is also a self-proclaimed ski-addict and captain of the Nottingham Lions amateur ice hockey team.
