People Infrastructure (PPE) has appointed Ross Thompson as its new CEO, commencing near the end of the month.

Mr Thompson joins People Infrastructure from the UK listed firm, RPS, where he was the CEO of its Australia Asia Pacific business. Prior to this role, he held a senior executive role at ASX-200 listed engineering and environmental services firm Cardno.

He has a track record of delivering sustained growth, having successfully purchased and integrated a number of people focused businesses over his career, PPE said.

Chairman Glen Richards is pleased to appoint Mr Thompson to the role.

“The board has full confidence that Ross’s strategic and operational management capabilities are the right fit to continue to deliver on People Infrastructure’s long-term strategy of being a leading provider of workforce solutions,” he said.

“He has managed and grown multiple people-based businesses and brings a combination of an entrepreneurial mindset with significant operational capability.

“Declan Sherman who had returned to managing the business in an interim capacity will transition to Executive Director and will continue to be involved in the strategic direction of the company as well as leading our acquisitions team and managing investor relations.”

On market close for the day, People Infrastructure was up 4.68 per cent and traded at $4.25 per share.
