There has been a boardroom shake-up at the technical recruitment firm, AndersElite.

John Peterson has been appointed managing director and Ian Johnson has become Chief Financial Officer.

The appointments follow the resignations of Paul Metcalfe and Chris Fenn, who left to pursue their own business interests.

Peterson and Johnson said their primary objective was to further develop AndersElite’s business.

AndersElite operates from 10 branches throughout the UK with another office in Sydney Australia.

It employs more than 300 staff and also runs a recruitment website, www.AndersElite.com.
