Midlands-based recruitment consultancy Macildowie has plans to develop into the public and not-for-profit sectors and has expanded its senior team to reflect this growth.

Following the high profile appointment of company chairman and industry expert, John O鈥橲ullivan, who brings with him over 30 years鈥 experience in the industry, a newly created position of business director has been filled by Margarita Fedoseyeva.

Margarita has more than six years' experience in the field of public sector and not-for-profit recruitment. She has joined the business in the newly created position of business director.

James Taylor, chief executive officer, said: "We鈥檝e been planning a move into these sectors for the last few years, with the aspiration of appointing a business director who would step into a leadership role and guide the new division. We feel confident that Margarita鈥檚 ability and experience within the public sector will be an invaluable asset to the business as we continue to expand.

"There鈥檚 no doubt that Margarita has a very strong personal brand in the market, and when combined with our brand heritage in the Midlands, I expect that Macildowie will become a public sector and not for profit force in a very short period of time.鈥

Margarita has already begun establishing her nationwide division, operating from its Nottingham headquarters, by appointing recruitment consultant, Peter Newman, and is looking to further expand the public sector team by hiring a second head.

She said: "Having worked for a large corporate company for 16 years, I鈥檓 delighted to have joined Macildowie. It鈥檚 refreshing for me to join a regional heavyweight with such a fantastic reputation. I鈥檓 thrilled to be playing a part in the continued growth of the business, helping to deliver a robust and quality service within a new marketplace.

"My aims are to establish this division nationally by using my breadth of experience to lead a winning team and assert the company鈥檚 knowledge and expertise within this rapidly expanding sector."
