Vedior has acquired a 70% interest in Major Players, a marketing, media and creative recruiter.

Zach Miles (pictured), Vedior’s chief executive, said: “The UK excels in creative disciplines and creative industries account for approximately 8% of UK GDP. With a growth rate twice that of the economy as a whole, they represent one of the country’s most important invisible exports. As a specialist with a strong brand reputation in a sector facing high demand for their services in the UK and overseas, Major Players is well positioned to achieve profitable growth.”

Based in London, Major Players works with clients in major creative hubs in Europe, Australia, USA, Eastern Europe and the Middle East. The Company’s annual sales were £10.0m for the year ended 31 December 2006.

Major Player’s existing management team will continue to develop the Company.
