\u201cIt’s an absolute joy to be joining La Fosse at this stage of their journey; to have gotten to this size and become an employee-owned business speaks volumes about how La Fosse’s leadership supports their people.<\/p>\n

“The business is doing something both unique and groundbreaking in the industry, and the opportunity to have a front-row seat is really exciting. I hope my experience within recruitment, tech, and solutions can help bring further success to this fantastic organisation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ollie Whiting, CEO at La Fosse, adds:<\/p>\n

\u201cGlyn brings a wealth of experience and expertise, and his strategic vision and operational acumen will play a pivotal role in driving the company’s continued success. Aside from this, his energy and enthusiasm speak directly to our values in creating a collaborative and fun environment. I’m confident that his leadership will strengthen our team as we begin the next exciting chapter for La Fosse.\u201d<\/p>\n
