Richard Wright

Richard joined Acre in October 2011 as a Non-Exec Director prior to becoming the Chief Executive, and an investor, in April 2012. He works very closely with the founder, Andrew Cartland, ensuring that Acre's growth is maximised as the business takes full advantage of the rapid development in purpose-led leadership around the globe. 

 
Richard has guided the expansion of the business through innovative client services and opening new offices in New York, Amsterdam and Singapore. 

 
Richard has a proven track record of building businesses and establishing brand positions, driven by quality and differentiation. Between 1994 and 2009 he built another recruitment business, MWA, to 225 people / £50m turnover. He then sold this business to Randstad, the world's 2nd largest staffing organisation.
