Two Top Executives Appointed To Spearhead Growth In North America

Feb. 13, 2013 - PRLog -- Specialist recruiter, the Transline Resource Group, has strengthened the top management team at its Canadian subsidiary company, with the appointment of Karin French and Maryanne Goodwin.

Both highly experienced recruitment specialists, Karin has joined as Vice President – North American Operations, whilst Maryanne takes on the role of National Sales Manager.

Karin will be responsible for driving expansion and growth of the business from its Toronto headquarters, supporting and consulting with a wide variety of clients in several key industry sectors, to advise on workforce solutions and talent supply initiatives.

An accomplished business coach, mentor, industry speaker and commentator in the professional services sector, Karin joins Transline Resource (Canada) Inc. after over 30 years of operating at Executive Board level with some of North America’s leading recruitment organisations.

Her previous role was as Vice President and General Manager of Kelly Services (Canada) where she delivered strong operational and financial results for the Canadian subsidiary of this global Fortune 500 company. Prior to Kelly, Karin held progressive positions with Olsten Corporation (since acquired by Adecco), leading operations in both the US and Canada.

Maryanne Goodwin also brings a wealth of experience and expertise to her new national sales position.

A multi award winning sales and operational executive, Maryanne has spent 14 years in wide ranging management roles within the professional recruitment sector and joins the Transline Resource Group from the Spherion Corporation, where she was National Strategic Account Manager.

Paul Beasley, joint founder and Managing Director of the Transline Resource Group, who established the business in the UK with Managing Director Jon Taylor in 1989, said; ” We consider it a real coup to have attracted talent of the calibre of Karin and Maryanne to help take our operations forward on the North American continent.

“Karin is a passionate and innovative results oriented leader with a great depth of knowledge and experience in working alongside ‘blue chip’ clients to help guide them and achieve their business objectives. She’s a great people motivator and exactly the right type of person to drive our team and business forward.

“ Maryanne brings a strong blend of business acumen and leadership skills to her new role and has a tremendous and long standing record of sales excellence and revenue growth.

“She has outstanding account management skills and a proven track record in running high performance, client-focused teams.”

Both new executives are now in post and have been working alongside colleagues in both Canada and the UK to formulate a comprehensive business strategy to take the company forward.

“Our new Canadian subsidiary company gives us a good foothold into the North American market and we are very excited about the progress we have already made since launching last September”, added Paul Beasley.

Managing Director, Jon Taylor, says “We are a vibrant company that goes the extra mile for clients and we find solutions to problems very quickly. This philosophy has driven growth in the UK  and just two weeks ago we were named the ’fastest growing recruitment organisation’ in our specialist sectors of industrial, technical and driving recruitment, with sales of £70m achieved in 2012.

“Our success is down to the quality of our people and Karin and Maryanne have a vital role to play in helping us to further build our reputation on an international scale.”

Karin French adds: “Organisations today are operating in dynamic and uncertain environments where innovative and proven workforce solutions are key to future success.

“A recovering economy presents a huge opportunity for the provision of contingent workers as clients look for greater flexibility from their workforce.

“I was attracted to Transline Resource because it is a vibrant and creative organisation which upholds the very highest standards in the sourcing and supply of quality temporary and permanent workers who are very carefully selected and trained to the most exacting standards.

“Our strategy is to grow with customers geographically throughout Canada and the US and our mission is to quickly earn a reputation as being the career destination of choice for candidates and the most recommended provider of workforce solutions by our clients.”

In the four months since it became established in Canada, the Group has won a major contract to supply warehouse and skilled technician staff to a major electronics and telecommunications company based in Mississauga.

“Other new contracts and achievements include the steady growth of Transline’s Information Technology practice as well as providing innovative workforce solutions for logistics and supply chain organisations.”

Transline Resource Group now operates from over 60 on-site client locations throughout the UK and has headquarters in Halifax, Yorkshire, and Manchester.

The company supplies over 6000 flex workers per day to some of the UK’s largest, household name, retailers and is a major player in the supply of HGV drivers to the logistics and supply chain sector.

It has overseas operations in Ireland, Spain and Eastern Europe and in 2012 was named the UK’s ‘Most Outstanding Outsourced Recruitment Organisation.”

Transline Resource Group has won a string of other awards and has achieved year on year, double digit growth over the past five years - putting it at the top of the league tables in the specialist driving, industrial and technical sectors.
