Mon, 8 Apr 2013Recruitment and staffing company Impellam Group has a new group-wide chief executive officer with the promotion of Julia Robertson.
Robertson was previously CEO of the Staffing division, and now takes overall control of the group, including its technical recruitment division and its procurement arm.
The last group-wide CEO was Desmond Doyle, who left the group in November 2009. The company did not immediately respond to the question as to why they had decided to return to this structure after three-and-a-half years. A spokesperson told Recruiter an official line would be unlikely to be released having chosen not to discuss this in its announcement today to the City.
Robertson joined Impellam in 2008 in the Staffing CEO role following its acquisition of the Carlisle Group, where she was a director within Carlisle Staffing Services.
She was previously CEO of the Institute of Employment Consultants, the forerunner of the Recruitment & Employment Confederation.
Impellam chair Andrew Wilson says Robertson’s “knowledge of the Group and extensive insight into the industry will be invaluable in moving Impellam forward through a mixture of organic growth and selective market expansion”.
The firm saw chair Cheryl Jones step down “following the successful turnaround and transformational restructuring of the Group” in November, as recruiter.co.uk reported.
Back in 2008, Robertson picked up the Best Candidate Care award on behalf of SRG, an Impellam Group company specialising in science, clinical and engineering, at the Recruiter Awards for Excellence.
