International executive recruiter SpenglerFox is expanding its UK presence with new offices, divisions and appointments.

SpenglerFox has launched two new business functions focusing on executive level placements in the finance and commercial sectors.

James Hartshorn has been appointed as UK country manager for the commercial practice and Chris Taylor as head of the financial practice.

James Hartshorn, UK country manager of SpenglerFox, told Recruiter the new divisions were launched in response to client demand. “There is a lot of rationalisation in the markets at the moment, there has been a change in the needs from a leader. It is time to be lean, commercially affective and perhaps be more flexible about what propositions are being put into the market from a commercial perspective.”
