The Angus Knight Group is undergoing significant growth following our success in the UK CAEHRS tenders, and recent acquisition of a large and successful training company, Learning Sphere, in Western Sydney.
To lead our future growth, and develop our organization and our people, our Board has appointed Cameron Judson as the new Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Angus Knight Group.
Cameron has a wealth of executive experience leading and growing large, highly people dependent service organizations. Of particular relevance to Angus Knight is his 10 years at Chandler Macleod, three years as Chief Executive Officer.
Cameron commenced with us on the 4th of January 2021.
Cameron joins the Executive team alongside founder Duncan Angus who will remain in the business on a day-to-day basis as Executive Director. “I am thrilled to have Cameron join our team, as his proven track record as being an exceptional leader of human services companies preceded him.”
Duncan added “Cameron will be able to build on the fantastic work we delivered in 2020. Whilst it was the most challenging year I have seen in 30 years, I was so proud of the Melbourne team in particular, who set a goal of getting 1000 jobs for people before Christmas, and they delivered in spades – 1841 people were placed into jobs in under 8 weeks “.
Cameron was attracted to the role as the company has been a quiet achiever. “Angus Knight is a very healthy company, with a great culture full of people who want to make a difference. I am really looking forward to unlocking the potential of what we do across the 152 locations in which we work”.
Angus Knight intends on expansion plans in the next 2 years that will include successful Government tenders, acquisitions and further international expansion.
