Mercuri Urval appoint 18 new Partners

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN – Earlier this year Mercuri Urval reached a new stage in their history as the company appointed their first 30 shareholding Partners.

18 further new Partners have now been announced by the company. The 18 newly appointed equity Partners represent eight nationalities from Mercuri Urval’s global organization. The appointments took place on December 18th 2018 at the honorable Match Palace in Stockholm.

Mercuri Urval is a Global Swedish Executive Search, Professional Recruitment and Talent Advisory organization, founded in 1967. In June of 2016 the founder and owner donated the company to a Foundation, Stiftelsen Mercuri Urval, in order to ensure a long-standing, secure development of the firm. A major step in Mercuri Urval’s development took place in 2018 as the company’s first employees were invited to the Partnership Programme. The Partner appointments is a process that will now run continuously.

Becoming a Partner is an opportunity to help shape Mercuri Urval’s future as well as benefit from dividends. Being a Partner is a serious undertaking but also a huge opportunity for current and future employees, says Roger Hagafors, Chairman of the Group Board
