"I am excited about this new chapter at Shaw Gibbs. It is clear that Peter O’Connell, his leadership and the Apiary team are passionate about developing the people side of the business as part of their overall strategy.”

Peter O’Connell, Chief Executive Officer, remarks

"Scaling sustainably demands more than headcount growth - it requires investment in how we empower professionals at every tier, from those who are on the first rung of their career ladder to strategic hires.

Angus will help us build a people strategy and lead the HR teams, including Recruitment and Learning & Development at Shaw Gibbs. His position will be pivotal in countless ways.”
