One of the largest tie-ups of recruitment groups takes effect today. Settlement of the public offer made by Randstad for all issued and outstanding shares in the capital of fellow Dutch global giant Vedior will be finalised.

All previously proposed changes to Vedior’s board and management, as approved at Vedior’s AGM of shareholders on 25 April, take effect immediately.

Also, Tex Gunning, Vedior chief executive, steps down from his role today but will continue to support the integration committee leading the integration of the two companies.
