Saragossa Welcomes Andy Turton as Contract Director for US Expansion

Chicago, January 2025 – Saragossa, a leading consultancy and technology delivery partner to private investment firms and their portfolio companies, is pleased to announce the appointment of Andy Turton as Contract Director for our US business. This key hire signals a step forward in Saragossa’s strategic diversification and growth agenda.

Despite broader industry contraction, Saragossa has capitalised on select opportunities in the US by expanding its footprint while many competitors retreat. Over the past two years, Saragossa’s US operations have grown from zero to a team of 20, driven by organic growth and strong client demand.

Andy Turton brings a wealth of experience in contract recruitment and a proven track record of delivering results. His leadership will be pivotal as Saragossa enters the US contract market, strengthening our ability to provide flexible, high-impact talent solutions tailored to the unique needs of our clients.

“We are thrilled to welcome Andy to the team. His expertise and vision align perfectly with our mission to deliver value to our clients while expanding into new territories,” said Rory Gaston, CEO of Saragossa. “Our contract business in the US has grown organically since we’ve launched in Chicago, driven by client demand. To have someone like Andy involved in the business helping shape the strategy will only improve the service we can deliver to our client community. Andy has a wealth of experience in developing world class teams and we’re excited to add someone of his calibre to the organization.”

Andy’s appointment marks the first of several planned investments in our operations, reflecting Saragossa’s commitment to building a world-class service offering that anticipates and exceeds client expectations.
