Speaking of the new office, Stephen Stott, founder and CEO of Stott and May, said: “In the years since Stott and May launched, we’ve seen phenomenal growth – in no small part because of the incredible performance of departments like our cyber security practice. It’s got the best talent, it’s got the best reputation, and it stands proudly at the forefront of the market. We’ve done remarkable things, and we’ve no intention of slowing down.”
He added: “Opening premises in Brighton is a logical step forward for the department, and I have every confidence that the team will build on the great work they’ve already done in London.”
Situated in one of the UK’s liveliest, most vibrant cities, the new Brighton office is currently staffed by a team of five and is expected to support 30 employees by 2017: in-house recruitment is already underway, and will be partially conducted via the company’s Cyber Security Centre of Excellence.
While Stott and May’s Brighton team will devote its initial efforts to cyber security recruitment, the office will eventually encompass every division the company already serves.
Oliver Kuehne, who heads up the new office, remarked: “There’s no company quite like Stott and May. The work is rewarding, the perks are amazing, progression is fast, and the compensation is some of the best in the region.”
Kuehne added: “The chance to lead our Brighton office is a real honour. It’s a fantastic city with plenty of character, and it offers a lifestyle worlds apart from the rest of the UK. The new team is already the highest growth area in the business, and we fully expect to keep up this blistering pace.”
Kuehne continued: “The office provides a great opportunity for some of today’s brightest and best recruiters to work for a leading international recruitment business and to earn London wages without having to make the commute”
The new office is emblematic of the company’s upward-trending ambitions, and represents a significant step towards achieving its £50 million growth target. With premises in London, Thames Valley, New York, and now Brighton, there can be little doubt that Stott and May is a formidable presence in the national and international recruitment market.
Stott concluded: “We’re a company full of shining stars, and our Brighton team is a supernova. They’re helping us find more clients, source better candidates, and grow as a business.”
