Major Players & Arrows Group merge to form the Majar Group
PRESS RELEASE
London - Thursday 27th January 2022 – Major Players (‘Major Players Ltd’), the UK’s leading digital, marketing, and creative talent agency, and Arrows Group (‘Arrows Group Ltd’), a global technology talent solutions company, have announced a strategic merger, forming the Majar Group.
The creation of the newly formed group is a formalisation of successful collaborations between the two pioneering brands over the years, and together, will provide the creative and technology industries with the opportunity to leverage a legacy that spans over 50 years.
The group provides agile talent solutions that shape progressive workplaces to enable rapid, international growth. By combining capabilities and offering complimentary services, the group delivers talent, digital transformation and growth strategies, across multiple territories to a wider customer base.
By creating a group, it also provides opportunities to accelerate organic growth across the brands and target strategic acquisitions, as seen with the addition of Caissa Recruitment in October 2021.
All the businesses within the group will continue to trade independently under their own brands. In addition to the founding brands (Major Players and Arrows Group), the group will also be home to BOOSTA, an embedded tech talent consultancy, and Caissa Recruitment, a Berlin based tech recruitment agency.
James Parsons, Group CEO, said “Creating the Majar Group enables us to capitalise on the convergence we see between the technology and creative services across our combined customer bases. We are investing in the solutions we can deliver to these high demand sectors and looking to compliment these with specific acquisitions to support our global strategy. We are really excited about bringing these exceptional businesses together under the MajAr Group and collaborating closely across the brands.”
“Major Players are delighted to be taking the next pivotal step in our journey and forming the Majar Group. Solidifying our relationship with the best in Tech to deliver an unrivalled service to both our clients and candidates in Europe”, said Joanne Lucy, Managing Director of Major Players.
“Formally announcing the creation of Majar Group is a result of the past two years collaboration and cultural alignment. Both businesses share the same values, ambition, and belief we can offer a world class service. On behalf of all at Arrows Group, we are excited and inspired about the collaboration and future of the group”, said Charlie Sell, Managing Director of Arrows Group.
