Andrew Spencer has stepped down as finance director at multi-sector recruiter Morgan Hunt.

According to a statement, released this morning, Spencer has left to “pursue new challenges” following an initial career break.

Spencer joined Morgan Hunt six years ago as financial controller, rising through the ranks to finance director.

Morgan Hunt chief executive Sue Cooper praised Spencer as an asset to the organisation, adding the firm wishes him only the very best success in the future.

Recruiter contacted Morgan Hunt to find out if a successor to Spencer had been appointed but had not heard back by deadline.
