Graeme Read has over fifteen years’ experience in the recruitment industry and as Group Managing Director of Antal's businesses has worked with owners, managing directors and staff to scale their business units from start up to critical mass and through to exit via a transaction. After forging an early career as an accountant for a publically-listed engineering and construction conglomerate in Zimbabwe, Africa, Graeme moved to the UK in 1989 and joined a UK-listed Crown Communications Group plc, a holding group of numerous media related businesses, initially as Finance Manager. Graeme joined Antal International in 1996 at a time when the group had only 4 offices and has seen it grow to its current size and global position of strength. He has played a fundamental role in the growth of Antal’s offices and the development of their management teams. In addition to being a main board director of the Antal International Group, and now Group Managing Director he was also a founding investor and Director of Antal International Networks, where he helped launch the Group’s franchise business unit. Graeme is also a board member of Antal Ventures an investment vehicle established to acquire well-managed, separately branded recruitment businesses to add to the Group’s recruitment holdings portfolio. When he isn’t spending time in one of their offices or investments looking at ways to accelerate growth with their management teams, Graeme indulges his appetite for reading and his active interest in photography, cooking and a certain North London football club.
