Celestia Technologies Group appoints Marguerite Kortland as Group HR & Recruitment Manager
Celestia Technologies Group (CTG) is supporting its current growth phase with the appointment of Marguerite Kortland as Group HR & Recruitment Manager.
Marguerite joins the pan-European business, which is focussed on innovative technology products, systems and services to the space, aerospace, defence, telecommunications and scientific markets, with a remit to develop recruitment and retention strategies as well as provide strategic HR support at both group level and for the CTG companies. She will also oversee career and personal development planning to ensure people grow with the business and fulfil their potential.
She brings more than 20 years’ experience to the role, having managed recruitment and HR for a number of technical companies across Europe. Most recently she was Human Resources Manager for Airborne, a technology leader in advanced composites based in The Hague, and before that their Senior Corporate Recruiter.
Previously, she ran her own consultancy Marex Recruitment also in The Hague, providing specialised recruitment and HR services to the engineering and maritime industries for almost a decade. She also held senior technical and engineering recruitment roles for both Tideway Offshore Solutions and Hays, one of the world’s most successful recruitment companies.
“I am excited about the challenges ahead and the prospect of being able to intensify recruitment efforts for the group as well as for its individual companies,” she says. “CTG has reached a key point in its journey, and is currently accelerating its impressive growth trajectory, so I join at a pivotal moment. I am relishing the opportunity of accompanying the business on its next stage and to making measurable differences such as increasing alignment in the group and creating a real feeling of “we” across the business.”
“Marguerite is a highly experienced HR and recruitment professional with an excellent understanding of the technical sector as well as how technical minds think and she will play an important part in taking the business forward, both by identifying talented people to join the group and supporting them to build their career paths with us. We are delighted to have her on board,” says José Alonso, Chairman of CTG.
“We are actively seeking talented people to join the group, in a range of challenging and rewarding roles ranging from production to engineering and from purchasing to management in exciting locations across Europe,” continues Marguerite.
