Global leaders in high-end technical staffing

Colin joined G2V in 2015 as the Group Finance Director, bringing extensive leadership experience in scaling businesses. He has worked across a range of sectors, in the UK and internationally. Colin’s previous role as the Group FD of Avanta Enterprise Limited, which he held for 8 years, culminated in the successful trade sale of Avanta to Staffline Group plc for £65m in 2014.

As Group FD from 2015 to 2018, Colin oversaw the professionalisation of the Group’s support functions, with a focus on rigour and scalability. He helped build the growth platform from which the Group increased Net Fee Income (NFI) to £27m, representing a growth rate of 105% during the corresponding period.

In 2019, Colin was promoted to the role of Group CEO, responsible for the Group’s strategy, providing advice and guidance to his fellow board members and senior managers.

This included leading the Group through the choppy waters of 2020/21, during which time it continued to invest in growth and creating the platform for the subsequent market recovery, contrary to the rest of the market.

In 2021, Colin led the Board through a competitive sales process which culminated in the Group securing new debt financing with Investec Bank plc to support future growth and a management buy-in deal.

Under Colin’s stewardship, Group NFI has increased by 254% to £47m in the year ended March 2022 and the Group has expanded to more than 450 employees in 23 offices across the UK, Europe, and the US. Growth has continued at a market-leading rate going into the new financial year as the Group continues to invest and expand in line with its ambitious strategy.
