At the event attendees heard presentations from Alistair Cox (Chief Executive Officer), Paul Venables (Group Finance Director) and senior management across the Hays Group. This included people running operational areas such as Technology, Marketing and HR, as well as regional directors and country leaders from businesses including the UK, Germany, Australia, France and the Americas.
The afternoon began with an overview of the significant operational, strategic and financial progress made since the last Investor Day in November 2013, including how we have developed and invested into the business to strengthen the model and ensure we evolve it to meet the demands of a changing market. We then laid out the financial potential of the business over the next five years, both in profit and cash terms. The event concluded with a drinks reception where delegates had the opportunity to meet some of the c.30 senior leaders of our business from around the world.
“We have a huge wealth of opportunity ahead of us and we are very well positioned to broadly double profit in the next five years, just as we have done since 2013.”
