Bluestones Investment Group, an investment platform for specialist recruitment businesses, has appointed Trish Stratford as chief executive professional staffing.

Stratford, who has held a number of senior management roles at recruitment agencies, including director at Brook Street and chief operating officer at Blue Arrow, will now oversee the development of the group’s professional/medical division. 

The move follows the completion of the acquisition of Harrison Sands, a permanent, temporary and interim recruitment firm Stratford set up.
