Our understanding of Bilfinger's unique values and culture are what makes this partnership so successful. We are proud to support their work decarbonising the UK's industrial clusters and building the renewable energy infrastructure to support the country's Net Zero commitments.
One of our proudest aspects of our partnership with Bilfinger has been the impact our placements have made, with many of the senior managers we've recruited going on to enjoy promotion to more senior positions. Examples of this include Steve Hill, who we recruited as Head of UK Automation Sales who went on to be promoted to Global Business Development Director in the global business. Another being Nick Rowlands, who we recruited as Regional Operations Director for the South of England, who was subsequently promoted to Vice President, leading the UK maintenance business.
As a leading engineering service and maintenance provider operating within multi discipline sectors, we must respond to our customer needs effectively by ensuring we deliver the right services with the right people.
Damian Redmond - HR Director, Bilfinger UK
Sherrington Associates understand this and the importance of working in partnership to support us finding and recruiting the right people, which we have successfully done with Rob and his organisation for a number of years.
Using a thorough executive search process to firstly understand our business needs, and then target the right candidates to support us delivering our overall business strategy, they have successfully placed senior positions within our business.
”I was approached by Rob and the team about a role at Bilfinger and, initially, being very happy with the role I had at the time, was reticent to move forward, however, Rob took the time to introduce what Sherrington’s were about and this encouraged to me to move forward. After just over a year in the initial role, I was promoted to a Global Director role, which I was challenging and rewarding in equal measures. Rob’s support and mentoring throughout the process was critical and I was so glad he had taken to time to understand my drivers and what was important to me. Without hesitation, I would recommend the services of Sherrington to any prospective employer looking for executive recruitment services.”
