Hogarth reveals Staffline exit

The former chief executive of Nottingham recruitment giant Staffline has left the company altogether.

Andy Hogarth, who stepped down as chief executive to a non-exec role in January has now said he will is set to leave the company completely on 30 June 2018, to “explore other business opportunities” as-well as pursuing his other business interests.

Hogarth joined Staffline as finance director in 2002, became managing director in 2003, and was appointed chief executive when Staffline listed on AIM in December 2004. During the fifteen years of his leadership, the business grew from a turnover of £40m to nearly £1bn in 2017, with underlying operating profits growing from £2m to over £39m during the same period.

Chris Pullen, chief executive of Staffline said: “I would like to take this opportunity to thank Andy for his valuable contribution in driving the Group’s significant growth over the past fourteen years. On a personal note, I am very grateful for the support and guidance given to me by Andy following my appointment as chief executive in January 2018. On behalf of the Board, I wish Andy all the best for the future.”
