Caroline Seear, CEO of recruitment organisation The Red Group has announced the appointment of Simon Johns as Managing Director. Simon joined Red Recruit as the Sales Director in 2015.

Red was founded by Caroline Seear in 2002 and has since expanded rapidly. Caroline said that she is now ready to hand over the reins to someone with drive, personality and passion.  “[Simon] is driven and highly motivated with exceptional flair for management,” she said. “I will be focusing on growing our other divisions into stand alone companies and steering strategy. We have three main areas of growth planned for this year, Red Security, Red FM and Red Recruit Global, as these areas have been popular with an array of clients from all over the world. Here at Red we are looking into methods that will help us expand and develop them into individual companies.”

“These are very exciting times, both personally and for the Red Group,” said Simon.  “I’m delighted to be part of this and to help the group grow into a leading global recruiter.”
