Strategy

Our strategy is one of organic growth, being long term investment in diversification, guaranteeing our resilience to the economic cycle. Geographic and cross-discipline expansion has reduced our dependency on any one market and the success of this approach is increasingly evident, with 72% of revenue generated outside the UK.

Our geographic spread by number of countries has increased from 4 in 1990 to 29 in December 2010 with EMEA now our largest region.

We continue to organically grow existing and new teams, offices, disciplines and countries through a consistent team and meritocratic culture. Teams worldwide are typically a Manager and three consultants, with the manager assuming full Profit and Loss responsibility for their teams.

Every consultant is critical to our business. Our recruitment, training and development programme guarantees their quality and integration with our values.

Over the last 35 years Michael Page has developed a clear brand strategy for the middle to senior management professional market. We are now a high profile brand, globally recognised, that enables us to attract consultants, candidates and clients in an ever increasing number of countries.

As part of a team-based meritocracy, it's in the interest of every consultant to fan the entrepreneurial flame. Michael Page supports profit share rather than a commission based system, with bonuses allocated according to contribution to the team.
