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.”
Margaret Jones, currently chief operating officer of Brook Street,
will become managing director of Brook Street. Since joining Brook
Street in 1974, Margaret has held a number of different roles including
