UK Drylining Contractor Situation

A UK based Drylining company were looking to expand their business and had been looking for a heavy hitting Contracts Manager with relationships, which was proving a challenge, they had spoken to several agencies who were not delivering.

THE SOLUTION

The issue was finding someone with the right relationships who were willing to bring them across. Due to our knowledge and network in this sector we were able to identify a couple of strong candidates. We met each candidate face to face to discuss what they felt they could bring to the table and why. The client joined us in those meetings and together we helped them decide on the right person.

RESULT

This has proved a real success in the last 6 months, our client has almost doubled their turnover. As a result, we have also been able to supply them with additional labourers and developed them into a Key Client.
