International executive recruitment firm Stott and May has opened in Brighton.

Initially the Brighton team will focus on cyber security recruitment, but eventually the firm plans to serve every sector the company operates in from the Brighton location.

Oliver Kuehne will head up the new office, which is currently staffed by a team of five and is expected to support 30 employees by 2017. In-house recruitment for the office is already underway, and will be conducted in part through the company’s Cyber Security Centre of Excellence.
