Hays plc first entered the Chinese market in 2006 when it acquired St George´s Harvey Nash employment agency in Shanghai., subsequently opening offices in Beijing and Suzhou. Dalian Nanjing & Shenzen are all potential cities for their plan to have a presence in 8 cities.
In October, the United Kingdom recruiter said buoyant economies in Australia and Asia boosted first-quarter results, offsetting a weak UK market amid public sector job cuts. With China being the biggest employment market it obviously makes sense to expand there.
The Sunday Telegraph has learned that the company’s board non-executive members of which include banker Lesley Knox and Alan Thomson, Hays’ chairman will meet together for the first time in China on Tuesday to discuss the expansion plan.
Alistair Cox CEO of the company has an ambition of Hays (HAS.L) become the biggest recruitment consultancy in China.
The company is in the 250 index and this expansion could push it into the FTSE 100.
Employment agencies are subject to the swings and roundabouts of the labor market which can fluctuate wildly with the world economy, but with a strong presence in China this could help Hays´s growth and share price over the next few years.
Being a long investor the fund will obviously retain it´s holding in Hays plc

Abrasive influences at the start of the week can produce some strife in relationships, so try to stay objective. Also, a powerful conjunction in Capricorn involving Mercury (communications), Mars (energy, conflict), and Pluto (transformation, obsession) deepens and intensifies discussions. During the weekend, love can be sensual but unpredictable on Saturday afternoon, and then flirtatious and adventurous on Saturday night through Sunday. Best days for socializing: Thursday and Sunday.
Aries: Your long-term aspirations in romance and other areas are hot topics this week. Sharing your thoughts about commitment may not be the most inspiring of conversations, but it will clarify the direction of your love life. You may feel emotionally volatile on Tuesday, though. Romance can be found online or while traveling this weekend!
Taurus: A contact from afar or an idea discussed in a class may bring insights about romance and other areas. It’s time to see the overall picture of where your love life is headed, and pinpoint any relationship issues that keep you from getting there. Your sensuality is especially magnetic mid-week. Playfulness fires up passion during the weekend!
Gemini: Some naughty wordplay in the boudoir will bring out your inner wanton this week.

Sharing your brainpower ignites romance from Saturday night through Sunday, when your charisma is irresistible!
Cancer: Your psychic power kicks into high gear on Monday, so take some quiet time to listen to your inner guidance. Partnership discussions are also highly energized.

Leo: Taking care of loose ends and dividing up duties will likely be important to love this week. Getting clear about what it means to have a healthy relationship is the key to success.

Passion is steamy this weekend!
