APSCo OutSource adds new managing director

APSCo OutSource – the trade body for the professional recruitment outsourcing sector – has appointed Brian Huggett as managing director.

Huggett has experience in corporate talent sourcing and recruitment roles, including time spent at PwC, Goldman Sachs, BNY Mellon, Lloyds Banking Group and Deutsche Bank.

Throughout his career he has rolled out global and local RPO and MSP programmes, built out new offices across European locations and managed the transition to IR35 regulations for large contractor books.

Huggett said: “The outsourcing market is huge and the role it plays in global economies is often misunderstood and arguably underrepresented.

“In the UK in particular, we’re at a pivotal moment when legislative changes could be set to alter outsourcing as we’ve historically known it.

“I truly believe that this is a critical time when the voice of the sector needs to be heard by core policy decision makers.

“Providers in the outsourcing market have a significant role to play in ensuring that legislation is fit for purpose for the workers and customers they engage with.

“That means preventing a blanket approach to legal protections, which history has shown can have a detrimental impact on the highly skilled segment of the workforce.”
