Our story
Founded in 2001 by Rob Dowling and Bruce Gamble
Founded in 2001, Pentasia - now part of The Conexus Group - quickly gained widespread market recognition and supported the emerging iGaming sector's early growth.
iGaming Academy launches
The Group begins to grow outside recruitment, launching iGaming Academy in 2007 to offer training services including courses for professionals and new employees.
Expanded internationally, building a global network
In 2013 Partis was launched, providing consulting and M&A services, with a joint London and New York base. Marden Executive was launched in 2014 to provide interim placements, NEDs, board advisors, executive recruitment and senior talent market insight.
Developed organically into new service offerings
To add more structure to the wholly owned businesses, The Conexus Group was formed in 2016, with Pentasia, Partis, iGaming Academy and Marden all coming under The Conexus Group name. Conexus Management Services was launched in the same year, as a central support and steering function.
Accelerated growth through strategic acquisitions
In 2018, iGaming specialist recruiter Pentasia acquired Headcount Recruitment, a Payments recruitment consultancy. In 2022, Enterprise Solutions was added as an additional function within Pentasia, enabling our clients to recruit teams at scale.
Achieving significant growth within iGaming and Payments
In 2023, PaymentGenes Recruitment became part of The Conexus Group, replacing the Headcount brand.
Leadership team
Our values
We achieve impressive results for our clients by following our key values
Value Relationships Over Transactions
Our business has been built on the strength and quality of our relationships.
Think Laterally
Support your colleagues, look for opportunity, be proactive, learn and educate horizontally and vertically.
Create Time
Working hours is not our key performance indicator, our reputation, the outcomes we deliver and what we understand about our clients and their challenges are more important. To do these things well we need to be more efficient and create time, for creativity, learning and sharing.
Know Your Stuff Deeply
By understanding our sectors, our clients challenges and our own products and services deeply, we become more credible, more empathetic and more valuable to our clients.
