CASE STUDY
Situation
Evans Taylor were instructed by a leading PE backed organisation who were looking to make significant change in their supply chain function. They were looking to make two separate appointments of a Procurement Director and a Logistics Director, salaries of c £100k pa each.
Evans Taylor spent significant time with the CEO and HR Director, understanding their key requirements. After detailed initial meetings and our subsequent knowledge of their business, we recommended an alternative solution for them to consider, that being to merge the two roles together and appoint one individual to the position of Supply Chain Director at a salary of c £150k pa. Our subsequent recommendation was taken to the Board and approved.
Approach
Evans Taylor undertook extensive international Search and Selection activities to attract and pinpoint individuals with track records of success in implementing leading edge supply chain initiatives. Critical to the organisation was the need to bring in somebody to develop a truly diverse multicultural supply chain function.
Outcome
The successfully appointed candidate had been operating on a truly international scale with numerous world class organisations and spoke four languages fluently. The incumbent has since led a complete transformation of the supply chain function. We have subsequently appointed individuals within the senior management and middle management supply chain teams to create an international supply chain function for the organisation.
