Executive recruiter Archer Mathieson has hired supply chain and procurement consultant James Gherardi.

Gherardi has five years’ recruitment experience, chiefly in the pharmaceutical, FMCG and medical devices sectors. He was previously at RK Supply Chain.

Chief executive Richard Wright says: “An added bonus is that James’s international experience brings us new opportunities to exploit and fits with our strategy to increase Archer Mathieson’s European client base.”

Gherardi will split his time between Archer Mathieson’s Windsor headquarters and the firm’s newly opened London office. The group also has office locations throughout Europe, which Gherardi can utilise.
