CASE STUDY - FACILITIES MANAGEMENT

The Company

The Problem

The Solution

Our client were a  Facilities Management provider. A £1bn company with global reach, and a specialisation in soft service contracts within the Corporate & Public Sectors. They are a well known, and well respected UK business with huge ambitions, and very visible UK growth.

Our clients short & medium term, ambitious growth plan relies on the recruitment and retention of high calibre, senior Business Development professionals, tasked with delivering £5m of annual sales from their chosen sector. With such a competitive UK market in FM, this was proving difficult.

In this instance they were specifically looking for a Business Development Director with vast UK public sector knowledge and the contacts & experience to bring both 'quick wins' as well as build a strong long-term pipeline of opportunity. 

Upon being instructed to work on the role, we were already in contact with a very strong, experienced Business Developer from within the TFM sector. This candidate had been acquired through our referral network.

As always we initially took a detailed Job Specification directly from the hiring manager. It was evident very early that the candidate was an extremely strong match for the role, with 7 years experience developing Public Sector FM business, with contracts from £1m to £20m in value. He was working for one of the worlds largest Soft Service FM specialists.

From here we arranged 3 formal interviews with the Sector Director, Managing Director and a formal presentation with the Board. 

We also worked extensively to tweak the package to ensure both parties were happy with the level of the offer.

Our candidate duly started his role as Business Development Director one month later, and hit the ground running, delivering his first contract win after 3 months.
