The story

Vedior was formed by a corporate spin-off from Vendex, following its acquisition of Bis.

In 1999, Vedior acquired Select Appointments, a UK-based staffing company with operations in the USA and Australia, for $1.83 billion, making it the fourth largest staffing company in the world.

Former Select CEO Tony Martin subsequently became the new CEO. Zach Miles replaced Martin as CEO in 2004, and oversaw more than 20 company acquisitions. Tex Gunning joined the company as Miles' replacement in September 2007 having previously been Group Vice President for South East Asia and Australasia at Unilever. Gunning left the firm after its acquisition by Randstad in 2008.
