The Irish recruitment firm Marlborough International has confirmed that two of its senior executives have resigned.

Managing director John Barry and business development director Adrian McGuinness have left the board.

The news represents the latest high-level shake-up at Marlborough, after a management buy-out failed in November last year.

In November, Marlborough lost non-executive chairman Clive Brownlee and non-executive director Irial Finan, who also resigned.

Shares in Marlborough have dropped in value from more than 25p earlier in January to 16.5p.
