Major Players Acquires Gemini People

Major Players today announced it has acquired the business of Gemini People Limited.

Major Players is the UK’s largest creative, digital and tech recruitment business. Founded in 1994 and based in London, its mission is to accelerate the ambitions of clients, candidates and staff by delivering outstanding service-driven recruitment with diversity and inclusion at the heart of the company. In an ever changing-market where people are at the forefront of every business, Major Players recognises that merging diverse portfolios of talent is an exciting opportunity for clients and a way continue to bring the best people to both brands and agencies.

Joanne Lucy, MD of Major Players (above), explains: “Transforming businesses and careers is our goal and as a united team we will be able to offer new services and innovations, but we will also continue to provide great talent solutions to meet our client’s challenges, whilst remaining true to our ethics and values.”  

Clients of both businesses will continue to work with the same contacts as before and Gemini People will continue to operate as it is now. 

James Caan, founder of Gemini People, adds: “We are delighted with the transaction with Major Players. With Joanne Lucy at the helm, who had a successful time at Gemini prior to Major Players; it seemed to be the natural home for Gemini People. We think they are the perfect partner and share the same ethos in putting clients, candidates and consultants at the forefront of everything. Since inception, Gemini has generated over £60 million in revenue and has a fabulous track record in delivering a first-class service to clients. Gemini has been on a great journey and the team are delighted about the acquisition. We are looking forward to watching Major Players and Gemini People grow unitedly in this ever-changing market and going from strength-to-strength together.”
