History

The company was formed in 1976 by Michael Page and Bill McGregor, who placed accountants into permanent positions in the United Kingdom.[1] Initially, the pair worked in London, but by 1979 had opened offices in Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds and Bristol.[2]

In 1985, an office was opened in Australia, and the organisation opened in France in 1986.[2] In 1983, Michael Page International was first listed on the Unlisted Securities Market.[2] Michael Page was admitted to the London Stock Exchange in 1988.[2]

Michael Page retired in 1995, with Terry Benson appointed as Chief Executive in 1990.[2] In 1997, the company was acquired by Spherion Corporation (formerly Interim Services Inc.).[3]

PageGroup was demerged from Spherion Corporation in 2001.[4] In 2006, Terry Benson resigned, and Steve Ingham was appointed Chief Executive.[5]

In October 2012, Michael Page International rebranded as PageGroup.[6]

In November 2016, PageGroup was hacked when a development server operated by Capgemini was attacked.[7]
