City-based recruiter Healy Hunt has restructured its business and diversified into new markets in response to recent events in the financial sector.

Senior search consultant Sarah Hutton becomes a director of the financial executive search firm, joining chairman and founding partner Paul Hunt, in place of Mike Moore who has left after eight years with the firm.

The new but related markets Healy Hunt is diversifying into include distressed debt, insolvency and liquidity management.

“Obviously we want to remain close to our existing client base, but we have also identified the the need to diversify into related, yet new markets,” says Hunt.

The firm has 12 staff, comprising two directors, eight consultants and two support staff.
