3R, a funding and back-office partner for SME recruitment businesses, has promoted Dan Brogan to managing director.
The move follows a strategic reshuffle of the Southampton firm’s board and senior management last year, as well as its expansion into the US.
Dan has brought a wealth of experience from his time at Barclays and had an ‘immediate, positive impact’ on the team at 3R since joining in 2023.
He’s joined on the senior leadership team by Kim De’ath (director of client experience), Debbie Stock (head of risk & compliance), Plamena Zhekova (head of finance) and Kim Pritchard (head of marketing).
Dan will be taking over from founder Mike Bowler, who will be staying on as a director.
“Mike’s foresight and leadership have been fundamental to 3R’s success”, said Dan.
“I’m grateful to have his full backing in my new role and pleased he will continue to be fully involved in the business going forward.”
Under Dan’s guidance, 3R is looking to establish itself as the go-to tech and funding solution partner for specialist recruitment agencies scaling, both in the UK and internationally.
“Rest assured, I’m fully committed to building on the foundation we’ve already established”, he added.
“We’re investing time and resources on innovating and evolving our products, continually working on how we enhance our service offering, and remain laser focused on our core purpose, which is helping our customers and partners achieve their growth ambitions.”
“I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to step into my new role of managing director.
“It’s a privilege to work alongside our fantastic team here and I’ve enjoyed beginning to build long term relationships with our customers since I joined.”
Mike will remain a key member of 3R and still be involved with the business on a full-time basis.
“I’m excited to be moving into more of a strategic role, exploring how we can continue to add value to customers through improved technology, partnerships and developing new territories”, he said.
“I wish Dan every success and am confident he’s the right person to build on 3R’s growth and take us to the next level.”
