Appointment of Chief Executive Officer
Staffline, the recruitment and training group, announces the
appointment of Albert Ellis, currently Non-executive Director, as
Chief Executive Officer with effect from 1 October 2020.
Albert was appointed to the Board of Staffline in March 2020 and
has extensive executive level experience in the recruitment and

Executive Officer at Harvey Nash Group, the AIM quoted technology
recruitment and IT outsourcing group, for 14 years before it was

Albert is a qualified Chartered Accountant, a Trustee of Asia
House and a key contributor to Cambridge University's Jesus College
Conference work on the future of employment and the jobs
market.
Albert will step down from his current position as Chair of
Staffline's Audit Committee, and the Company will announce a new
appointment in due course.
Following a suitable period of operational handover and
transition, Ian Lawson, currently Executive Chairman, will move to
Non-executive Chairman of the Board on 31 December 2020.
Ian Lawson, Executive Chairman of Staffline, commented:
"For an individual of Albert's calibre to take up the role of
Chief Executive is testament to the underlying fundamentals of our
business. Albert brings almost unrivalled expertise in our core
staffing and training outsourcing markets, we believe the Company
will significantly benefit from his leadership qualities and his
focus on best practice and corporate governance.
"Whilst the current market backdrop continues to present a
number of challenges, we are delighted that Albert will be taking
up this role as Staffline moves into the next phase of its
evolution."
Albert Ellis, Chief Executive of Staffline, commented:
"Having joined the board earlier in the year, I believe that
Staffline has excellent long-term prospects underpinned by its
scale in its core key worker staffing markets and leading market
positions in training and employability outsourcing. I look forward
to working even more closely with the wider management team as we
drive the business forward with a view to returning to growth and
realising value for our key stakeholders."
