SYDNEY, June 1, 2015
/PRNewswire/ -- ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN), world leader in
innovative workforce solutions, has today announced its acquisition
of the Australian and Singapore
arm of Greythorn, a leading professional services and recruitment
firm specialising in technology and finance. With this acquisition,
Greythorn and its banking and finance subsidiary Marks Sattin,
become wholly owned by ManpowerGroup Australia, operating under the
Experis brand.
"This is an exciting phase for ManpowerGroup in Australia," said Ram Chandrashekar,
ManpowerGroup President Asia Pacific and Middle East.
"The strategic acquisition of Greythorn further strengthens our
capabilities across the region and complements the organic growth
of the Experis brand, the global leader in professional resourcing
and project based workforce solutions. For clients, it means
we can deliver an even broader range of specialist workforce
solutions with combined assets and systems, and for candidates,
even better opportunities across more clients."
ManpowerGroup's recent Talent Shortage Survey shows high demand
for skills across the IT and finance sectors globally.
"Demand for IT talent is high and fast-changing – ranked number
nine in the top ten hardest jobs to fill in Australia, and accounting and finance is
ranked number seven. That demand includes specialists in key
areas such as security, big data, analytics, mobility and cloud,"
said Lincoln Crawley, Managing
Director, ManpowerGroup Australia and New Zealand.
"The acquisition of Greythorn and Marks Sattin will provide
access to a large, international network of resources and greater
reach in both local and global markets, while continuing to focus
on deep vertical expertise; building on our leading services for
clients and candidates.
Greythorn Managing Director, Richard
Fischer will join the ManpowerGroup ANZ senior leadership
team.
"Our acquisition by ManpowerGroup is a key development in
unlocking the growth potential of the business and our ability to
scale up in the region as the market leader in specialist
Technology and Finance recruitment," Fisher said.
Greythorn and Marks Sattin are complementary to Experis and we
look forward to realising the synergies that are present across
these businesses. This is a natural next step for us and will
deliver exceptional opportunities for our clients and candidates,"
said Fischer.
"I look forward to extending the scale of our specialist and
niche technology and finance sectors for our clients."
