A recruitment agency has filled its 20,000th role across the region.

Pure, which has offices in Norwich, Ipswich and Chelmsford, reached the milestone with the placement of Helen Turner, who has been appointed as head of group reporting at Cambridge University.

The firm, which was founded in 2002, specialises in accountancy, financial services, IT, human resources and office support recruitment, including board level appointments.

David Culley, associate director at Pure, said: 'To have supported 20,000 people to find their next career step, and to have worked in partnership with organisations across the region to find these high-calibre candidates, is a fantastic achievement. Pure is committed to contributing to the growth of our region, as well as making a difference to people's lives, and this milestone shows just one of the ways in which we achieve this.'
