The newly appointed managing director of Kellan Group company RK Supply Chain is looking to grow the business by five or six consultants over the next six to nine months.

Mark Darby told Recruiter that while the supply chain recruiter was well known in the market, and had strong relationships with a number of clients, it had “not been pulling its weight”.

The company that currently employs around eight staff is now on a sound financial footing, says Darby, and is looking for experienced staff, and potentially to take on graduates. 

Darby says the plan is to grow in London first, before expanding into the rest of the UK and then Europe.

Darby will retain the position of managing director of Berkeley Scott in addition to the new role. Darby says of his appointment: “RK Supply Chain is a strong brand and there is a core of very good consultants.  

“I am now looking to grow the business quickly by employing similarly talented individuals. We have a great proposition here, one which values and rewards talent in an entrepreneurial environment which any good consultant would find difficult to reject.”

Ross Eades, chief executive of Kellan Group, says: “Mark is a hugely talented leader.” He goes on to say that “his results with Berkeley Scott have been impressive and I have faith that he’ll grow RK Supply Chain in a similar way to become the undisputed market leader”.
