Commenting on his appointment, Michael said: “This is such a fantastic opportunity for me to join a cutting edge recruitment company that will prove to be a market leader.

There is a vast demand for these people and we are here to meet that need.”

He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in the interim division and will be an invaluable asset to the ‘MRG’ team, whilst moving into new areas and concentrating on expansion in the UK.”
