Australian Partnership for UK Research Recruiter

London-based MR recruitment agency Sparkle Recruitment has announced a partnership with veteran Australian market research recruiter Andy McLellan of AML Resources.

McLellan, who is based in Melbourne but also recruits for clients in Sydney, worked as General Manager of Research International for five years before moving into market research recruitment in 2000. He comments: 'Australian and UK researchers both enjoy the opportunity to live and work overseas and this partnership will ensure AML and Sparkle provide a seamless transition for our clients'.

Kathy King, who launched Sparkle a year ago with Janet Chambers, comments: 'As an Australian living in London, I was keen to develop an Australian link. We know Australian researchers are well regarded in the UK market and we often have UK researchers wanting to explore opportunities in Australia, so linking up with Andy was a logical step for us'. Both King and Chambers worked previously at Richmond, Surrey-based recruiter Stopgap.
