Case Study: Construction Products – Project Manager

Posted by Tom Austen on September 26, 2014

Our client, one of the East Midlands’ largest and most successful independent home improvement companies, had developed an unmatched reputation for quality, value and customer service, which has been sustained even with continued sales growth.

In line with ambitious growth plans, we were retained to recruit an exceptional Project Manager to become an integral part of their close-knit team; representing a vital link between the company and its customers and labourers.

We spoke at length about the need to take into account cultural as well as commercial factors (as is often the case in family owned businesses) before agreeing a tailored strategy to handle the project in a manner which minimised downtime for this busy operation.

After extensive research and candidate targeting, we met to discuss a well-rounded longlist and collaboratively reduced to five candidates from different backgrounds. After a through interview process, an offer was extended to an individual with extensive project managing experience who was also a qualified, respected architect that could evidently add further value to the company in an ancillary capacity. Within 5 weeks of instruction, the offer was accepted and the candidate commenced employment during an exceptionally busy period – making an immediate impact to the company.
