European Managing Director - based in Denmark

Client Sector:

Engineering

Salary:

Equivalent circa £125K+

Overview:

This was a position based in rural west Denmark for a UK plc. To quote the client" a bitch of a job in a bitch of a place, I am not sure that you (WTC) would want to handle it". A search and an advertising campaign was carried out in Denmark, Northern Germany and, Southern Sweden. WTC achieved rapid success through relocating a Dane from Germany.

Project:

Managing Director - based near Heathrow, UK

Client Sector:

Business Services Subsidiary

Salary:

Equivalent circa £100K+

Overview:

WTC was called in to rescue an assignment that had drifted. Against a brief that was ideally "a 35-38 years old, Sales Director looking for their first General Manager role", within three weeks WTC provided a successful "wild card" solution with only one candidate - a 46 years old ex- finance guy, who had become a Managing Director 6 years earlier. The quality and capability of the individual was such that the organisation structure was changed, making his business, one of the main business units rather than a sub business unit.

Project:

Build a new plc Group Finance team - based in Central London

Client Sector:

Business services

Salary:

Equivalent circa £30k - £80K

Overview:

In early October WTC was asked to take on the recruitment of a five-person team - ranging from Group Chief Accountant to Assistant Head Office Accountant - relating to an office relocation. With a 31 December year-end approaching, the old team committed to leaving on the following 31 March, and a relocation scheduled for early March, it was critical that we maximised the length of handover for as many of the team as possible - a tough order. In fact the whole team was in place as of 2 January, with the group Chief Accountant having joined in mid November.
