Mr Saunders said: “We’ve enjoyed an incredible three years. When we started, our vision was to create an executive recruitment business that delivered tailored leadership assessment across the manufacturing and industrial industries. There was a clear gap in the market for a quality operator specialising in middle and executive management levels, which is an area that had failed to innovate and felt laboured.
