Steve Ingham CBE serves as Chief Executive Officer of PageGroup, having joined Michael Page in 1987 as a consultant with Michael Page Marketing and Sales, working his way up through the business. Steve was appointed CEO in April 2006.

As CEO, Steve oversees a global business with a headcount of almost 8,500 employees across 37 countries. As a worldwide leader in specialist recruitment with a current market capitalisation approaching £2 billion, Steve understands what it is to create opportunity for people, regardless of location or background.

Since becoming a wheelchair user after a near-fatal skiing accident in March 2019, Steve’s perspective on how he can unlock hidden talent, enabling employers to nurture diverse organisations built on an inclusive, winning mindset, has changed. He has since campaigned for greater inclusivity for disabled people in the workforce and advocates for the introduction of mandatory workforce reporting requirements on company disability strategies.

Steve joined the Institute of Directors as a commissioner earlier this year for their commission on The Future of Inclusive Business: Harnessing Diverse Talent for Success. Steve is also chairman of the Corporate Development Board for Back Up Trust charity and was recently awarded a CBE for his services to business and people with disabilities.

Thanks to his efforts, PageGroup is recognised as an award-winning worldwide leader in specialist recruitment by clients and candidates, employees, media partners and more.
