Manpower and CPME are well acquainted with a history of successful partnership, with CPME appointed as the US headquartered group's Middle East partner over three years ago.

CPME Managing Director Patrick Luby has led the Clarendon Parker team since 1998, expanding the operations from one Dubai branch to nine GCC offices, including three in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

He will continue in a senior leadership role with the newly acquired entity, as Senior Vice-President for Business Development, Partner and Government Relations for the region.
