Commenting on his appointment, Clements said: “In the past I’ve talked about working with smaller companies and motivated teams as the environment in which I can make the most positive impact. I’m looking forward to using my 30 years’ experience to help a growing business, with an energetic and ambitious management team, and create a truly outstanding player in the healthcare recruitment sector.”

During Clements’ time as CEO at SThree, the firm grew from 20 offices of which five were overseas, to 64 offices across 20 countries.
