Senior Vacancies at a multi billion dollar turnover, privately owned, global surface coatings manufacturer.

In 2003 SPS Consulting was launched to bring Head hunting executive search level recruitment services to senior positions below the boardroom.

One of our first customers, and subsequently our longest standing retained client, is a multi Billion dollar turnover, privately owned, global surface coatings manufacturer.

The client was facing a new era of growth for its business. To achieve their new goals they had to look at their existing pool of human capital.

At the time SPS wasn’t a coatings specialist – we were a Head Hunting specialist.

In the last 6 years we have filled nearly every senior vacancy the company has had in the UK, including:

Operations Manager
Finance Manager
Marketing Manager
Protective Coatings Manager
Marine Manager
Fire Protection Manager
Export Manager
Human Resource Manager
Decorative Manager,
Protective Coatings Area Sales
Marine Area Sales
Fire Protection Area Sales
Distributor Sales Manager
R+D Team Leader
Chemists
International Specification Manager
Account Manager

Due to the continued success of the UK recruitment strategy, we have grown our offering to include all international positions. SPS have placed staff for this group in:

West Africa – Ghana, Nigeria
Middle East – U.A.E, Dubai and Saudi Arabia
Scandinavia - Norway
Europe - France
Asia Pacific - Shanghai

All over the UK and mainland Europe and many more places to mention in between. As a result SPS Consulting became rebranded SPS International Ltd and now fills positions all over the world for many other clients.

During our time of working together, our Client has doubled its group turnover. This is no coincidence as all business success stories rely on people. This is why getting the best people is so crucial to your business.

We now search globally for every senior position and regularly place expats and locals into positions. We are truly international!

We are already replacing people who have been promoted within the organisation since SPS first placed them.

We work with a select few other clients in the coatings industry, but keep this very much to a minimum to avoid off-limits problems.

Now in 2009 SPS is certainly the number one coatings head hunter globally and operates within an unrivalled network of people in this industry, and we have a reputation you can trust.
