Rise Group has completed its integration with Glasgow and Edinburgh-based legal, accountancy, financial services and management consulting recruiter Hammond Resources, following its acquisition just over a year ago. The division has now been re-branded as Rise Hammond.

Rise Group, backed by Murray Capital, the private equity arm of Murray International Holdings, offers specialised recruitment capability in contact centres, hospitality and catering, professional services and executive recruitment.

Gregor Campbell, managing director at Rise, says: “The acquisition of Hammond brought us a well-established team focused on professional recruitment in key specialist fields.

“These are exciting times to be part of Rise Group. We will continue to grow through acquiring strong businesses which add value and offer synergy within the group and will carry on hiring experienced recruitment consultants and teams whose values and ambitions fit our own.”
