Norman Broadbent PLC -

Norman Broadbent PLC (LON:NBB) said it has appointed recruitment veteran Peter Searle as executive chairman.

Searle will take up the role immediately after the recruitment and business group’s Annual General Meeting on June 25 when current non-executive chairman, Alan Howarth, will step down. Howarth, who is retiring, will continue as a non-executive director until August 2021.

Searle has over 30 years' experience in the recruitment sector including a spell at Adecco before he left in 2006 to become chief executive (CEO) of Spring Group. He returned to Adecco in 2009 when it acquired Spring Group and he was appointed to the group executive committee. He was most recently the CEO of Airswift from 2016 to 2018 and executive chairman from 2018 until last month.

“Peter has a strong track record within our industry and has enjoyed success both within the private and public markets,” said Norman Broadbent CEO Mike Brennan. “He brings a wealth of experience to our board and we look forward to working with him as we continue to grow and scale the company.

“As Peter joins us, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Alan Howarth for his help and support whilst serving as our non-executive chairman, particularly during the pandemic."

Searle holds a 6.16% stake in Norman Broadbent.
