Completing the powerful trio of executive directors is Jonathan Scott, who has gained significant experience in financial management and strategic leadership, having gained the position of CFO and later CEO of National Car Parks (NCP), as well as his earlier career at Ernst & Young. His proven skills in driving financial excellence and implementing effective strategies will be instrumental in leading MCG Group towards success and growth.

“I am confident that Jonathan’s leadership and expertise will greatly contribute to the success of our company and further strengthen our position in the talent solutions market,” Ford said.
