Livingston James Group director Jamie Livingston has acquired Co-Founder Andy Rogerson’s stake to take full ownership of the Scotland-based executive recruitment firm.

Livingston will become both CEO and chairman while Rogerson will stay on as advisor and non-executive director.

Livingston and Rogerson established Livingston James Group in 2010 and had joint control of the firm. The group employs 35 people and includes four brands in its portfolio including Livingston James, Rutherford Cross, Drummond Bridge, and Hamilton Forth.

Livingston commented, “I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved as a team in growing the Livingston James Group to the business it is today. Andy and I have had a lot of fun working together and I am delighted that he will continue to have a role with the group in his new capacity as non-executive director.

“Looking to the next 10 years, I see huge opportunity for the organisation to build on the firm foundations we have set. Each of our businesses in Scotland are significantly up year on year and we have ambitious plans for further geographic and service line expansion in the next 12 months.”
