The move, which reinforces the company’s growth across Europe, includes the appointment of Ellen Byrne as senior manager to head up the Ireland operations. Byrne joins Stott and May from Osborne Recruitment Consultancy. She is a technology specialist in areas including software development, blockchain and cyber security.

A company statement quoted Stott and May CEO Stephen Stott as describing Ireland as “a major hub for high-growth technology-focused businesses”. He went on to say: “More broadly, this step also makes it easier to transact across other European countries where we have a high volume of valued customers.”

Founded in 2009, Stott and May is headquartered in London with additional offices in Reading, Los Angeles and New York.
