PageGroup is a British-based recruitment business. It is headquartered in Weybridge, Surrey and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.

History

The company was formed in 1976 by Michael Page and Bill McGregor, who placed accountants into permanent positions in the United Kingdom.[3] Initially, the pair worked in London, but by 1979 had opened offices in Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds and Bristol.[4]

In 1985, an office was opened in Australia, and the organisation opened in France in 1986.[4] In 1983, Michael Page International was first listed on the Unlisted Securities Market.[4] Michael Page was admitted to the London Stock Exchange in 1988.[4]

Michael Page retired in 1995, with Terry Benson appointed as Chief Executive in 1990.[4] In 1997, the company was acquired by Spherion Corporation (formerly Interim Services Inc.).[5]

PageGroup was demerged from Spherion Corporation in 2001.[6] In 2006, Terry Benson resigned, and Steve Ingham was appointed Chief Executive.[7]

In October 2012, Michael Page International rebranded as PageGroup.[8]

In November 2016, PageGroup was hacked when a development server operated by Capgemini was attacked.[9]
