Nicholas Kirk joined PageGroup as a consultant in the UK Leeds office in 1995, when the company operated in just six countries and had only 622 employees. In January 2023, Kirk became PageGroup’s chief executive officer. Today, PageGroup has 8,800 employees operating in 37 countries. It was ranked by SIA as the 15th-largest staffing firm in Europe in 2022 and reported revenue of £1.99 billion in that year. He had been executive board director and regional managing director, UK&I and North America for a year prior to his appointment as CEO. Kirk believes that social mobility can play a significant part in meeting talent shortages.
