Recruitment specialists de Poel have expanded with the appointments of Tim Flanagan and James Parker to the group.

The move follows the recent management buyout of de Poel, led by the senior management team with debt finance from Tosca Debt Capital.  

Flanagan joins as director of strategy and commercial. He has previously held managing director positions at Serco and Capita.

Parker is taking up the post of director of business development and joins de Poel with experience of recruiting for temporary and permanent placements across varying verticals. He has also worked for a global outsourcing firm providing sales and general management leadership.

Andrew Preston, chief executive of de Poel, said: “In what has been a period of significant change, introducing a new way of working, I am delighted to welcome James and Tim to de Poel, to head up our business development, strategy and commercial output across the entire group.

 “Not only do they share an abundance of knowledge within the recruitment, outsourcing, public and private sectors, but each have their own individual talents, skill sets and experience to bring to the table.
