New faces at recruitment firm
Edinburgh-based recruitment firm Munro has appointed Nicola Dunn to the newly-created role of senior researcher.
Ms Dunn, who previously worked as a business and life coach and also worked with the former Edinburgh-based agency Quantum, will provide UK market analysis and support candidate sourcing within the firm’s key sectors which include property and real estate, energy and construction.
She will be joined at Munro by new graduate trainee Juliet Yarkova, a native of Bulgaria who recently completed a degree in Russian and EU Studies at the University of Edinburgh.
Ms Yarkova joins Munro through the Santander-sponsored intern scheme at Edinburgh University and will provide administrative, research and executive search support.
PR firm makes key appointments
Media consultancy Holyrood PR in Leith has made two new additions to its ten-strong workforce while also making a number of internal promotions.
Consumer public relations expert Ainsley Piggott has joined the agency as an account manager and will be working with clients as diverse as luxury housebuilder CALA Homes and Musselburgh Racecourse. She previously spent two years with UK-wide agency, Havas.
Meanwhile Kenny Murray has been appointed to lead Holyrood’s burgeoning digital services, including working with videographer Craig Sinclair across the entire client portfolio.
Mr Murray joins from global public relations agency Weber Shandwick where he spent two years on the digital side of the business.
Holyrood’s internal promotions include Chris Fairbairn’s being appointed account manager and Sarah Fairley’s appointment as account executive in which position she will work alongside Alicia Simpson who joined from Havas PR in June.
Another change will see account director Brian Lewis leave the firm at the end of the year having landed a job with Abu Dhabi based agency Seven Media.
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
