Management changeover at Hill McGlynn

2005 will see one of the UKs leading Construction Recruitment Organisations, Hill McGlynn, change its operational management after 30 successful years of trading.

Managing Director and founder of Hill McGlynn, Stephen Hill, will move away from the day to day running of Hill McGlynn and take on the new role as Executive Chairman. Stephen will run the Boards of both the UK and Australian businesses and in addition will work with the Board on the strategic direction of the Group and future acquisitions.

Stepping up into the Managing Directors role will be Group Operations Director, Steven Ware and National Operations Director, Mark Bull who will take on Joint Managing Director responsibilities.

Steven Ware has worked with Stephen Hill for over 20 years, establishing the companys reputation on service and professionalism and Steven has been instrumental in helping move the company forward over the years to become an international organisation. Mark Bull joined Hill McGlynn in 1992 as a Recruitment Consultant before working his way up to Director level. Mark is also currently Managing Director of Hill McGlynn Trades, the Trades & Labour arm of the group.

Also joining the Board of Hill McGlynn group will be London Regional Director, Jasmit Kalra; and Northern Regional Director, Mike Bower. Both Jasmit and Mike have worked for Hill McGlynn for 10 years, originally as trainees and working their way up through the company. Commenting on the Management changeover, Stephen Hill said:

"I founded Hill McGlynn in 1976 and over the years I have seen huge growth in the company. After steering the ship for nearly 30 years on a daily basis; I feel that it is the right time to hand over the operational reins to Steven and Mark. These changes will give continuity to the strong dynamic management team for sustained success ensuring that Hill McGlynn continues to grow and lead the way in the construction recruitment market. I myself want to use my knowledge and experience gained over 32 years in recruitment to focus on the strategic direction of the group both in the UK and overseas as well as for the betterment of the management team and to enjoy more time outside of work."

The management changeover will be effective from 1st May 2005.
