MajorPlayers Appoints New Financial Controller Following Company Merger

MajorPlayers has taken on a new Financial Controller to take the business to the next level. The hire comes after the recent merger of parent companies Ranstad and Vedior ñ a move that has catapulted MajorPlayers to global status as part of the worldís largest group of recruitment consultancies.

Todd Pearce joins the team from his role as Financial Controller at Reed Healthcare PLC. A chartered accountant with over 24 years experience, which includes stints at ID Group Ltd and Hudson Global Resources, Todd has spent much of his career within the recruitment industry. His credentials made him the perfect candidate for the new permanent position as MajorPlayersí FC.

Greg Orme, CEO of MajorPlayers, comments:
MajorPlayers has got ambitious growth plans and we wanted to make sure our finance department evolved as fast as the rest of our business and continues to support our consultants as we get bigger. Todd's experience with bigger recruitment firms will be invaluable in setting us up for the next five years.

Todd Pearce comments:
ìIím delighted to be part of this fast-growing industry leading firm. Having worked in the recruitment industry for many years, I know I have a lot to offer MajorPlayers and look forward to helping to smooth the transition into a global brand.î

MajorPlayers has experienced substantial growth since the beginning of 2008, despite the gloomy financial outlook elsewhere in the UK, and is the latest evidence that the award-winning recruiter is one to watch.

MajorPlayers has twelve main specialist divisions including Advertising, Creative, Creative Services, Design, Digital, Events, Finance, HR, Integrated, Office Support, PR & Comms and Research & Insight. MajorPlayersí 90 consultants still practice the founding principles that first ensured the company made its mark within the complex and competitive recruitment industry, continuing to establish itself apart from the target-driven stereotypes typically expected within the recruitment world.

MajorPlayers won Recruiter magazineís ìBest Medium to Large Recruitment Firm to Work Forî award in April 2008 of this year beating some of the industryís top talent.
