Adderley Featherstone - The Power Behind Business
For leading executive search firm Adderley Featherstone, 2012 heralds their 21st year in business. The headhunter has been driving their clients’ business performance forwards by identifying and securing the very best talent for over two decades.
With offices in Leeds, London and Geneva, the company attributes its longevity and success to their unfailing no-nonsense approach to identifying and sourcing the very best senior and board level appointments for their clients, across both UK and International markets in a wide range of industry sectors.
Adderley Featherstone operates within the senior and specialist appointment markets and has an unrivalled reputation in the fmcg and retail sector, dealing on an exclusive basis with some of the industry’s most desirable roles within leading organisations.
Martin Thayne, director at the firm says: “Adderley Featherstone has always prided itself on its straight forward, down to earth approach backed up by a strong, process driven methodology and our consultants’ substantive real world career experience in their areas of specialism; merits which have time and time again proved to be the best tools to secure top quality candidates in the industry.
“Within an organisation, we find it is only a relatively small number of people who have the ability to deliver a step-change and make a significant difference to the business. However, more often than not, this high potential group are not actively looking for a new role. We use our exceptional search and networking capability to identify and engage directly with these people, ensuring we present them with the best opportunities. Our proven track record shows that these industry professionals feel comfortable talking to us in circumstances where trust and confidentiality are absolutely key.
“We have been consistently delivering outstanding candidates for our clients for more than 20 years and we are pleased to say that 75% of our new assignments come from existing clients – this is testament to our consultants and our dedication to building and maintaining strong client and candidate relationships.”
Thayne believes that it is networking these relationships, both internally and externally which is key to developing a successful and solid career in fmcg. “The retail and fmcg market is recognised as a source of some of the UK’s brightest business talent but in order to build a successful career, it is important to be proactive about potential next steps and make the right career move at the right time – making the most of internal opportunities as well as looking outside the organisation.”
For those already considering a new role, the firm has extensive marketing capability to bring the latest opportunities to their attention. Whether a candidate is proactively contacted or applies directly for an opportunity, it is their personal achievements and professional contributions that set them apart from their peers.”
