A four-STRONG team of headhunters are launching their own executive search business after leaving recruitment firm Munro.
Ken Dalgleish, Donogh O'Brien, Catriona Mackie and Nigel Fortnum had been operating as a separate entity within Munro for the past 18 months.
Now Aspen is predicted to reach £1m turnover in its first 12 months and has just moved into premises on St Vincent Street in Glasgow.
Mr Dalgleish, managing director of Aspen, aims to double fee income across the next three years.
The founders plan to focus on executive and non-executive director level appointments across the private, public and third sectors ranging from small and medium enterprises up to listed companies.
Mr O'Brien has been in executive search for more than 20 years with experience of education, the NHS, government, charities and social enterprise.
Ms Mackie joined Munro Consulting in 2009 and had previously been with National Australia Group and VisitScotland.
Mr Fortnum has spent 17 years in recruitment in industries including agriculture and food and drink..
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
