CEO Medical Leave

Dirk Hahn, Chief Executive Officer at Hays, is currently taking medical leave, having recently undergone surgery. Dirk's recovery is progressing positively and he is expected to return to the business early in the new year.

Michael Findlay, Group Chair, will become Executive Chair until Dirk returns, after which he will revert to being Non-Executive Chair. Michael will work closely with the wider Hays management team to continue to drive forward the Group's strategic and commercial priorities.

Everyone at Hays wishes Dirk a quick recovery as he focuses on returning to full health.
