The Client
Kingspan Environmental as part of Kingspan Group is a market leader in the manufacture and supply of metal fabricated hot water cylinders. Kingspan differentiates itself through its relentless development of innovative and patent-protected proprietary technology. Kingspan Environmental is one of 4 divisions within the Group that has operations globally.
The Challenge
TS Grale was retained by Kingspan Environmental to source a new Head of Operations & Capital Projects within their Hot Water Cylinders manufacturing business. They were keen to identify an individual with a track record of using world class manufacturing techniques to further improve operational performance of their manufacturing sites and experience, leading complex capital investment programmes to help enhance their manufacturing capability.
The Solution
Post an initial briefing meeting with the Business Unit Director for Kingspan Environmental, TS Grale created a bespoke search strategy to comprehensively map the manufacturing operations community within the chosen sectors and geographies. Following a rigorous search process we were able to produce a longlist of candidates and assessed each of them face to face against the agreed brief and submitted a shortlist of candidates for Kingspan to interview.
The Result
The Head of Operations & Capital Projects was successfully appointed from the shortlist delivered by TS Grale.
“We engaged with Paul at TS Grale to identify someone to lead operations at our sites in Wakefield. They provided advice and guidance on the best approach to market and designed a bespoke recruitment process that delivered a wonderful shortlist of candidates and ultimately a great individual for the role. We were very impressed with their knowledge of the market, their personal approach and support and feedback provided throughout the process. We would have no hesitation recommending TS Grale to others.”
