Stephen Rookes Nes Group Ltd

Stephen Rookes is the Group Commercial & Legal Director of global talent management specialists NES and is responsible for all commercial matters across its global network of offices in the UK, Americas, Europe, North Africa, Middle East, Asia and Australia, which achieved a combined turnover of £285million in 2010.
Before joining NES in 2006, Stephen worked in the shipbuilding and nuclear industry in a number of engineering, construction, project management, business development and commercial roles in both the UK and internationally. In May 2011, Stephen was elected as the Chairman of APSCo and said “I feel honoured and privileged to be elected to this prestigious role. It’s a hugely challenging role, but one that I’m relishing getting stuck into.” He also said “The implementation of the Agency Workers Regulations in a manner that minimises risk for end user clients and recruiters will be a major challenge over the next 12 months and beyond. One of the key challenges will be determining which temps and contractors are within the scope of the Regulations and which are outside. APSCo will be playing a key role in helping recruiters make that assessment in a way that reduces the red tape burden.” Stephen adds: “The issue of pay when paid clauses, which APSCo highlighted this year in a major event, will also be a focus of my attention. This has been a real thorn in the side of the recruitment sector over the last few years, but one which under APSCo’s leadership has now been moved to the top of the agenda."  |
