Rowan Group branches into Lancashire

EXECUTIVE search company Rowan Group is expanding its regional presence with the opening of an office in Chorley.

The Manchester-based recruiter, which has offices in Spinngfields and in Didsbury, has appointed Carl Meyler as an associate director to lead its drive into Lancashire.

Its £60,000 investment will see it focus on recruiting newly-qualified ACA, ACCA and CIMA accountants through to Financial Controller roles for its Rowan Finance division.

With more than 15 years’ recruitment experience,  Mr Meyler was most recently a manager with RK Finance and RK Consultancy.

The business was founded in 2011 by Richard Robinson, ex-board member of the Michael Page Group, David Anwyl and Paul Waite.  All three were key shareholders who oversaw the growth and sale of RK Group in 2008. The Rowan Group is backed by venture capital investor EV.

Paul Waite, co-founder and director at Rowan Finance, said: “The business has successfully operated from a Manchester base since its inception, but as revenues and appointment numbers rise and our professional reputation strengthens we must build on our regional presence.

“Lancashire is a natural choice as the growth currently being witnessed within the region ties perfectly with Carl’s experience, both in terms of geographical business knowledge and financial recruitment expertise. This is yet another step to achieving our £1m turnover goal this financial year.”
