New Owners Take Over TMS Asia-Pacific

Travel industry recruitment specialist TMS Asia-Pacific has been sold to a joint consortium consisting of current CEO, Helene Taylor and Asia-based business entrepreneur Steve Hamblin.

Hamblin has strong experience in the recruitment sector having founded the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand-based The Parker Bridge Group in 1988.

He currently has interests in Parker Bridge Recruitment, a New Zealand and Thailand-based executive search outfit and CWA Talent, a call centre recruiter operating across Asia and part of international call centre business and direct market services provider, Caelan Wright & Associates.

Hamblin is also involved in fast growing online training company Recruitment Training Productions along with UK-based, internationally renowned recruitment expert Mike Walmsley.

Hamblin said his intention was to immediately re-open TMS offices in Bangkok and Auckland before turning his attention to China.

There are no plans, he said, to re-open the TMS operation in Singapore.

“TMS will continue to operate under its current branding,” he said. “The brand was what attracted me in the first place, along with a desire to work alongside Helene Taylor and the TMS team who will spearhead the push into expanding the Australian side of the business.”
