Imprint’s buy-up of financial services recruiter Morgan McKinley will allow the firm to begin a new phase of national and international expansion.

Morgan McKinley, bought last month for £24m, is planning to open new offices in Edinburgh, Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo (left) in the next six months.

Further ventures in Dubai, Australia and South Africa also lie on the horizon.

Robert Thesiger, chief executive of Morgan McKinley, said: “We have achieved a phenomenal turnaround in the last three years and as we move into our next phase of strategic growth, the opportunities that this transition affords Morgan McKinley are very exciting.

“For example, a graduate entering the business as a researcher will have the opportunity to grow with the business, working across all major sectors, at all levels and in some very exciting international locations.”
