The senior management team of regional hospitality and catering firm InTouch Recruitment has joined the business of hospitality and leisure recruiter Berkeley Scott.

InTouch ceased trading at the same time as the move and the former InTouch team will now be working on the branded hospitality market in London.

Richard Zermansky, former managing director of InTouch and now consultant at Berkeley Scott, says: “We had a number of options available to us, but it was important that we moved somewhere that shared our core values of providing an integrity driven personal service.

“The added benefit to us joining Berkeley Scott is that their financial stability and back office infrastructure give security to clients who InTouch worked with and allow us to be involved in developing a national brand.”

Managing director of Berkeley Scott, Mark Darby, adds: “I’m delighted by this development. I am hopeful that this will be the catalyst for future developments of a similar nature.”
