REC response to death of Sir Alec Reed

Responding to the death of Sir Alec Reed (photographed), founder of Reed, the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) Chief Executive Neil Carberry said:

“Sir Alec Reed was a titan of our profession whose work provided immense positive change for candidates, clients, charitable projects and the thousands of Reed team members who he so loved.

“The thoughts of the whole REC team, and I am sure all our members, are with the Reed family and all the staff of Reed at this time.”

“Sir Alec’s work changed lives far beyond the day-to-day business of Reed. His Knighthood was just recognition of his immense charity work and his maxim that without entrepreneurialism there could be no philanthropy.”
