Centralus PLC announces the appointment of David Callaghan as Chief Executive Officer from 1st May 2018, to succeed Jonathan Beckerlegge, who said:

“I have spent two exciting years with Centralus as Chairman & CEO; realising the shareholders’ initial vision, introducing the unique and innovative ‘enhanced employee engagement’ model to the UK and putting together an unrivalled team.

While I relinquish the CEO position, I will be staying on as Chairman.

We wanted David for his strategic strengths, determined execution and his ability to inspire people every step of the way. We look forward to David extending these qualities throughout the organisation as we build on our enormous success as first mover in the market.

Therefore, taking into account David’s commitment to Centralus’ values, the Board has decided to offer him the position as company’s new ‘Chief Executive Officer’.”

David Callaghan qualified as a Chartered Accountant with KPMG, professional marketer with IBM and as Chartered Manager (Fellow). For the last 20 years, he has led both large global and entrepreneurial domestic recruitment, RPO and BPO companies, as Managing Director, COO and CEO several times over. He said:

“Centralus is a fantastic company with a unique proposition that helps companies transform their businesses through their employees. I have been with the business since the start of 2017 and have seen first hand the significant impact we have had on clients and their employees. The vision for the future is inspiring and I am proud to be part of the team making such a difference to so many.”

Centralus is creating a new industry by leading the way with employee engagement solutions. We have developed a unique offering that unlocks the power of the employee. Innovative thought, substantial investment and world-class delivery have combined to provide an offering that transforms businesses.

Over the last two years, Centralus has had tremendous development, with a relentless growth in our client base, achieving a 2,500% increase in community employee numbers to 25,000 members. The business has also undergone high levels of organisational recruitment and physical expansion.

The new headquarters at Elstree has been designed to encompass elements reflecting values important to our organisation and workspace. Open spaces, transparency, cutting edge technology and unique design are the embodiment of our culture. The office, created for a collaborative environment with advanced co-working spaces, is anticipated to be operational in summer 2018.
