With over 25 years of professional services leadership, Andrew Fahey is set to build on the firm’s reputation as a stalwart partner for clients who wish to expand overseas.
The Briars Group, a leading international expansion firm renowned for its comprehensive support in helping companies grow globally, is delighted to announce the appointment of its new CEO, Andrew Fahey.
Bringing over 25 years of experience in leading and delivering professional services in the UK and internationally, Fahey's appointment marks a significant milestone in the company's growth strategy to become the go-to brand for global expansion.
Fahey's last role, Global Chief Commercial Officer for People 2.0, came after playing a key part in the successful sale of Brookson Group, where he spent 25 years, rising to CEO in 2020. His expertise is expected to significantly enhance The Briars Group's capabilities as a full-service international expansion offering.
Known as a thought leader in the contingent workspace, Fahey's innovative approach to workforce strategy is anticipated to inject a fresh perspective into the firm's operations, with an immediate focus on scaling the commercial arm of the business.
“I am delighted to have taken up my new position and have already been working with the talented team at Briars to build new projects that will deliver our own global growth ambitions,” Fahey said.
“The firm has an excellent reputation as a leader within the global expansion industry, and I firmly believe that there is huge scope to further it,” Fahey added.
Fahey has already made some immediate changes to Briars’ senior leadership team, hiring a new Director of Sales, a Head of Marketing, along with several other senior positions across the business open for candidates.
"The Briars Group has always been at the forefront of facilitating global business expansion, serving as a trusted partner for our clients worldwide. With Andrew at the helm, we are confident in our ability to scale new heights and deliver even more value to businesses looking to navigate the complexities of international markets," said a company spokesperson.
The Briars Group offers a complete suite of services tailored to supporting businesses that are serious about their international expansion. These include accounting and tax, HR and payroll, international banking, foreign exchange, and global mobility solutions.
Recognising the increasing trend towards global expansion, driven by advancements in technology and a shift towards more flexible workforce models, The Briars Group remains committed to providing flexible, compliant, and cost-effective solutions.
"Our mission is to simplify the process of global expansion for businesses, ensuring they meet their statutory tax, banking, employment, and payroll responsibilities in any country they wish to enter. Fahey's leadership is expected to further strengthen our ability to achieve this mission, leveraging his unique skills and expertise to benefit our clients worldwide," the spokesperson added.
