New Manpower UK Managing Director Appointed

Yoav Michaely, executive vice president & managing director Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA), Manpower Inc, is delighted to announce the appointment of Mark Cahill as managing director of Manpower UK, with immediate effect. Mark joins from Manpower group company Brook Street where he held the position of managing director. Mark Cahill replaces Tony Howard who has moved to a new role as non-executive chairman of both Manpower UK and Brook Street.

Mark has over 17 years’ experience in recruitment having joined Brook Street in 1987. Appointed to the Board in 1988, he became managing director in 1997 and chief executive in 2001. During his time at Brook Street, Mark has held various roles covering financial administration, purchasing, general services and overseeing the company’s IT division. Prior to joining Brook Street, Mark held a number of senior positions in major manufacturing companies.

Yoav Michaely, says: I am delighted to appoint Mark Cahill to the Manpower UK team. Mark’s experience at Brook Street demonstrating significant management, business and leadership talent makes him a natural leader to build further on the potential of Manpower UK. The strong position Manpower UK is in today is very much the result of Tony Howard’s hard work and I look forward to working with Tony in his new role of non-executive chairman of Manpower UK and Brook Street.

Commenting on his appointment, Mark Cahill says: Manpower has a deserved reputation for delivering excellence in recruitment. These are exciting times for the company as Manpower seeks to grow its business and reinforce its position as a leading authority in the UK employment industry. Tony Howard has done an excellent job in refocusing and developing the company. I look forward to building on his many successes.

Mark continues: The UK employment market is increasingly competitive and clients are looking for partners who can demonstrate an understanding of not only the recruitment issues modern business is facing, but also the business issues of today. With over 40 years’ experience in the UK alone and a global network of offices, Manpower is ideally placed to help companies large and small to face these challenges.
