Cyber security and technology recruiter InfoSec People has successfully completed a Management Buyout (MBO), transferring ownership from CEO Chris Dunning-Walton to Managing Director Benjamin Craig CISMP.

InfoSec People has grown over the past 15 years, expanding its team to more than 20 professionals and achieving an annual turnover of £7 million.

Chris will continue to support the company's progress as a Board Advisor, alongside Strategic Advisors, David Clayden, Mark Schiller, and Buck Rogers. He was appointed managing director last year.

Ben said: "I am absolutely delighted to take on the ownership of InfoSec People. Chris's three core values ‘Do the right thing’, ‘Add value’, and ‘Be the best you can be’ align closely with my personal beliefs and will remain at the forefront of our operations."

Chris Dunning-Walton added: "I have no doubt that under Ben's guidance, InfoSec People will continue to flourish and thrive. I would like to extend my gratitude to everyone who has been a part of our journey thus far. While this marks the end of one chapter, it is only the beginning of an exciting new era."
