Cherry Professional, the Nottingham-based recruitment experts, are expanding into Leicester.

The company, which specialises in finance and office support, has taken space at Imperial House, St Nicholas Circle, with the experienced Tim Grainger appointed to head up the territory. Miriam Parris, also joins their office support and administration division which was set up last year.

Tim has over 8 years' experience in finance and office support & administration recruitment across Leicester and recently returned to the UK having lived and worked in Spain for a number of years.

With an extensive background in recruiting administration, sales & marketing and finance individuals (predominantly for shared service centres), Miriam also worked overseas in India heading up the migration of a call centre function for a national telecommunications company.

Simon Gray, director of Cherry Professional commented:

"We've been growing very swiftly since we first set up the business three years ago, adding an office in Derby just last year as well as an office support and administration division. The expansion into Leicester to service our local client-base here and beyond to Northamptonshire and Coventry makes perfect sense. 

"In Tim we have a highly experienced recruiter who is a great addition to our existing team. His appointment and our new office base at Imperial House, is extremely exciting and we are very positive about the future."
