mthree appoints new government lead

Talent and training partner mthree has appointed Christian Bathews as its new government lead, a strategic role created to support the firm’s expansion into the public sector following its inclusion on G-Cloud 14.

Christian brings 25 years of experience in public sector recruitment and digital transformation, having worked with organisations including HMRC, Westminster City Council and major NHS trusts.

He will focus on building relationships with central and local government, aligning mthree’s talent and upskilling programmes with public sector needs in areas such as AI, data and digital capability.

Christian said: “It’s great to be joining mthree at such a pivotal moment for the public sector. 

“Throughout my career, I’ve seen how the right mix of skills and technology can transform public services, helping organisations deliver more effectively for citizens. 

“I’m keen to bring that insight to mthree and expand our reach in the public sector.

“From my early conversations with the team, it was clear that mthree is serious about bridging the skills gap to build high-performing teams.

“I believe that all of the offerings that mthree provides to some of the world’s largest private sector cooperations are also needed across the government landscape. 

“My ambition is to deliver collaborative, forward-looking strategies that deliver real results for central and local government clients. 

“By connecting them with the right people and providing tailored training programmes, I’m confident we can create a positive, lasting impact.”

Alex Headley, chief executive at mthree, added: “Christian’s appointment comes at a crucial time in mthree’s journey. 

“Through our decade of work with major banking and technology clients, we understand the value of a skilled technical workforce and can see a clear opportunity for the public sector to benefit from this. 

“Through our new offering, we want to help government organisations not only solve today’s hiring and skills challenges but also help them prepare for tomorrow. 

“By investing in a leader who truly understands the public sector, its culture, and its needs, we will be well-placed to develop meaningful partnerships with central and local government organisations.”
