The launch of its new Procurement and Supply Chain Division has meant that recruitment specialist Macildowie has further expanded its Midlands team.

Recruitment consultants Claire Fletcher and Ben Radford have joined Macildowie to lead this new division in the North Midlands, specialising in placing candidates in public sector and blue chip procurement and supply chain roles.

The pair's brief will see them establishing client relationships in this exciting new field for the business, as well as taking on the challenge of building the Macildowie brand within the new sector. 

Claire brings substantial experience to the new role and joins from Michael Page, where she also worked in procurement and supply chain recruitment.

Originally from Stourbridge, but now living in Nottingham, Claire attended Keele University. She says: "I'm delighted to be joining Macildowie - it's an expanding business and has an excellent reputation in the industry. I'm really impressed with the personal approach and professionalism within the business, and the opportunity of being here for the launch of the new Procurement and Supply Chain Division was too much to resist."

Nottingham-based Ben joins Macildowie from a smaller city rival, where he was lead consultant for procurement and supply chain. He said: "The new Procurement and Supply Chain Division is a great one to join, as it will be well supported by Macildowie's dominance and blue chip contacts in HR and finance. I'm also excited about working with the NHS."

Macildowie, which counts Paul Smith, Boots, Gap, and Barclaycard among its clients, will now be recruiting professionals for procurement and supply chain positions with public sector and blue chip clients using the same trusted methods it employs for financial and HR roles.
