A Californian company had grown to become a household name in the USA, dominating the domestic market for a high volume consumer product. The time was right to expand into the United Kingdom.

The business hinges on a high volume warehousing and distribution operation. The UK Department of Trade and Industry provided location assistance.



The immediate recruitment requirement was for a first rate Country Manager - an operations and logistics expert, then a Financial Controller - experienced in US/UK financial transactions, Sales and Marketing staff, and finally hourly paid shop floor personnel. There were two distinct locations in the UK.



Our initial task was to source the Country Manager using our Search and Selection capability.



We then managed the activities of specialist recruiters for other positions, using an accountancy recruitment firm for the Financial Controller, and specialist agencies in the appropriate geographical locations for sales and marketing and shop floor staff.



Of course, businesses such as Estrelas rely on networks of trusted contacts to help us spread the word about our recruitment services. CASE STUDY 3 highlights just some of the people/organisations with which we have valued relationships.
