Our vision & strategy
We aim:
- To be a high growth, low risk, international quoted specialist staffing group with a balanced portfolio of operations and earnings across different market sectors
- To be the staffing company of choice for investors wishing to gain access to international staffing markets
- For our people to be proud of their contribution to and their association with our Group
The Group has adopted a strategy of balanced growth (combing organic, start up and acquisitive growth) with investment risk management (through diversifying across different specialist staffing market sectors). Central to this dual growth / risk management approach has been the philosophy of “management equity”, the concept that key, entrepreneurial people are attracted and motivated by the opportunity to acquire a meaningful stake in the companies they run. Each operating company in the Group is run by managers holding significant stakes in their companies or alternatively stakes in Empresaria itself.
This philosophy extends to Group structure, which is totally de-centralised with autonomous managers running self-contained companies, enjoying high levels of commercial freedom combined with strict financial discipline and controls. Empresaria head office is kept deliberately small, focusing on financial management and Group development. It is the nature of this structure that creates increased operational economies of scale at the centre as the Group grows and enables the consequent underlying growth in net profit margins.
Each operating company has its own individual development strategy and priority is given to supporting organic growth plans. We promote cross border expansion where appropriate as well as communication and cooperation between Group companies across the world.
