Ransom, who has 38 years experience in the print, packaging and paper industries, will incorporate interim management into the recruitment companys remit.

Interim management is growing at a rate of 20% a year and yet knowledge within the industry of its benefits is minimal, said Ransom.

According to Page, this will be the main change under Page Overtons new ownership.
As well as it taking away the financial pressure of driving a business, I also know that Colin shares my vision for the company and the industry, said Page.

Page remains at the company in a consultative role and although age was the principal reason behind selling up, he has no plans to retire in the near future.
