| | Hays plc, the specialist
recruitment group, has
announced that its chief
executive, Denis Waxman,
is to retire in November
2007 and that Alistair
Cox will be joining the
company to succeed
Waxman on his
retirement.
Waxman, aged 60, who
was one of the original
founders of the
business, has been a
main board director at
Hays for nine years and
was appointed chief | |
|
| | executive in July 2004.
Cox joins from Xansa
plc, the outsourcing and
technology services
company, where he has
been CEO since 2002.
Prior to this, he was
regional president of
Asia for Blue Circle
Industries, latterly
Lafarge.
Cox has stepped down
from the Xansa Board and
resigned as chief
executive. Bill
Alexander, non-executive
chairman, will act as | |
|
| | interim chief executive
until a permanent
appointment has been
made.
"The Board wishes to
thank Alistair for his
contribution to the
development of Xansa's
business over the past
five years," said
Alexander. "He has
successfully refocused
the business on its
strong UK franchise and
been instrumental in
building a
market-leading operation | |
|
| | in India. He leaves
Xansa in an excellent
position to build
further on its success.
Our recent contract
renewals in the public
and private sectors are
testament to the quality
and strength of our
business."
Bob Lawson, chairman
of Hays plc, said: "The
Board is delighted to
welcome Alistair Cox to
Hays. He brings to the
company a breadth of
experience in the | |
|
| | service sector, combined
with extensive
international experience
across Europe, North
America and Asia, and we
look forward to working
with him. With the
strong management team
at Hays that he
inherits, we will
continue to build our
strategy of creating a
leading global
specialist recruitment
company."
