Former hotgroup Division Confirms New Management Team, Relocation and New Office

Parkside Recruitment today confirms its new identity as an Ochre House brand and reveals the latest promotions to its management team, the relocation of one of its offices and the opening of new premises. Brian Poxon and Amanda Wildman join as directors, the Staines branch moves to larger, refurbished premises incorporating the Bracknell branch, and a new office opens in Kingston to focus on Surrey and West London.

Offering temporary and permanent recruitment services covering office professionals, accountancy and finance, Parkside Recruitment is a former division of the hotgroup and underwent a management buyout from the Trinity Mirror Group led by Chris Herrmannsen last August. The company has offices in Staines, Uxbridge and Kingston and covers the areas in and around West London and the Thames Valley.

The new directors are to work alongside Parkside Recruitmentís managing director, Jennie Emerson, who is a member of the management buyout team.

Brian Poxon joins Parkside as director of the Accounting and Finance Division and brings over 13 years of experience within the recruitment industry, including roles at Integris, Robert Half International and Brook Street. With specialist experience in building and managing teams of high-level interim finance contractors, Brian brings to Parkside his extensive knowledge and capability in senior placements, and will help the business to expand its capability in qualified financial recruitment.

Amanda Wildman is director of the Office Professionals Division and joined Parkside with more than 15 yearsí experience of secretarial and administrative recruitment. She has served as director of business development for Crone Corkill and set up Michael Page Secretarial in 2003 where she remained until joining Parkside Recruitment in June 2006. Amanda will use her extensive experience of building robust and qualitative recruitment processes to ensure that the Parkside quality mark continues to develop with the growing Office Professionals brand.

Chris Herrmannsen, group managing director of Ochre House, comments:

ìParkside Recruitmentís new management team brings together a wealth of niche recruitment capabilities and consultancy-led outsourcing expertise, and so is a perfect fit with the Ochre House philosophy.
