Objective
Due to the planned retirement of the CEO, our client needed to recruit a high calibre successor. The main objectives of the CEO role are two-fold, keep the company on its current successful path and execute plans for innovation and business growth.

Their office location and sought skill set provided a real challenge.  

Method
Collingwood conducted a thorough, comprehensive search of the Aerospace industry in the UK, assessing candidates against the technical, commercial and cultural requirements of the client.

Result
Collingwood presented a shortlist of 5 candidates to the client which gave them a number of options, resulting in a candidate being successfully recruited.
