This move signals an exciting step change in Axis's history resulting in the recent opening of a second Aberdeen site at the Arnhall Business Park, Westhill.

The demand for independent consultancy services remains high and 2012 is expected to see a significant recruitment intake as the company continues to grow. Axis plans to open further office sites in the UK and overseas this year as part of its growth strategy.
