On exiting the business, Duncan Powell said: “In 2009, Dale and I set out to shake up the recruitment industry by establishing our first brand: Yolk Recruitment. For 15 years, we overcame every obstacle that came our way including the financial crisis, geo-political and economic volatility and of course Covid. I am extremely proud to be able to exit the business at its strongest point in history and leave knowing that the group is in expert hands." On introducing the terms of the management buy-in and Mr Powells exit, Founder and CEO Dale Williams said: “After 15 years in business with my founding partner and friend, we move onto a new chapter in our ever-evolving growth story.

Kevin Evans, CFO, has been with the group for 10 years and has been influential in establishing the financial rigour and governance required to underpin our growth aspirations.
