Edmunds joins private banking search firm

He joins Simon Culliford and Tom King as directors of PBSS. He spent nearly two years at Private Banking Executive Search and has 25 years headhunting experience.

Edmunds said there were signs of an upturn in private banking recruitment, following job losses in recent years. "Employers are realising that if they do nothing on the hiring front they will be left behind," he said.

PBSS and Private Banking Executive Search are both niche London-based headhunters.
