Multi-sector recruiter Rise Group has appointed Neil Lafferty as group sales director.

Meanwhile, following Hammond Resources becoming part of Rise Group last May, Adam Gordon has been affirmed as director of Hammond Resources.

Lafferty’s experience includes senior sales management positions and sales director within contact centres and recruitment at Hewlett Packard (Compaq), Kwik-Fit Insurance & Teletech UK/US. 

Gregor Campbell, group managing director at Rise Group, says: “We’re delighted to bring Neil into our business. His network, contacts and professional approach to client engagement will be of significant benefit to our company as we continue to grow.

“We are creating parallel capabilities in Scotland through taking our Rise Jobs brand, already Scotland’s leading call centre recruitment business, into Edinburgh and taking our strong Quality Link catering and hospitality division into Glasgow.”
