While the UK market has experienced a period of stagnation, I'm now seeing a resurgence in hiring activity as confidence builds. This presents us with a prime opportunity to establish the foundations, vision, and blueprint that will drive our future growth. I'm excited about this opportunity and look forward to collaborating with my team and the wider Morgan McKinley family to achieve our goals."
