Ireland – James Caan looks to invest in three recruitment firms (The Irish Times)

29 April 2019

The Irish Times reports serial entrepreneur and former BBC Dragons' Den star James Caan is looking to invest in three additional Irish recruitment companies as he deploys up to £40 million as part of a strategy to create a recruitment group with approximately 60 constituent companies. The former Dragons’ Den investor is specifically seeking out recruiters in the engineering and healthcare space in which he would take a majority stake. Caan said his investments in Ireland are a way to hedge his bets in relation to the UK’s departure from the EU. Caan’s Irish recruitment firm investments include Hayward Hawk, Darwin Hawkins and 360 Search.
