Therese Rein’s job placement company has again made its entry Australian market after three-and-a-half years. She closed her company Ingeus when her husband was campaigning to become prime minister.

Rein’s Ingeus Company, which is a well established company in the UK, is in joint venture with financial services firm Deloitte, and now controls almost a quarter of the UK sector.

The contract it has won for 23% of outsourced services to place unemployed Britons in work, had led them flow in profits, with $18.85 million profit last year. This profit has made Rein to re-establish her business in Australia, where she owns 97% stake in the company.

The news of the re-entry in the Australian market has been confirmed by the spokeswoman for Ingeus, who said the group had registered an Australian arm. She further revealed that they would not take contracts from the federal government, to avoid any conflict of interest, involving Finance Minister Kevin Rudd, who is also the husband of Rein.

The group said Ingeus Australia would not take up again the recruiting operations, which it left in 2007, as it is against their signed clause with their two former Australian arms - Clements and Work Directions Australia, and new business still has to be decided.
