The company was formed in 1976 by Michael Page and Bill McGregor, who placed accountants into permanent positions in the United Kingdom. [3] Initially, the pair worked in London, but by 1979 had opened offices in Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds and Bristol. [4]
In 1985, an office was opened in Australia, and the organisation opened in France in 1986. [4] In 1983, Michael Page International was first listed on the Unlisted Securities Market. [4] Michael Page was admitted to the London Stock Exchange in 1988. [4]
