The challenge
Oyster Yachts came to Marine Resources as they quickly needed specialist knowledge and advice to recruit some key senior-level people into the business. Oyster were looking for experienced professionals who would actively drive a business strategy. The challenge for Marine Resources was to recruit a team of specialists to lead the development of the new purchasing processes and systems and develop relationships with suppliers, set up and establish new manufacturing sites, and grow the business.
Results
Marine Resources quickly got to work headhunting and sourcing potential candidates who could fill these specialist sector roles at a senior-level. Our Executives Team was successful in headhunting strong candidates and filling posts quickly with individuals who were able to make a significant impact across the multiple-site locations and expansion plans for Oyster.
The Head of Purchasing role was a key placement for Oyster – a critical role to help achieve their long-term ambitions. The candidate recruited was an extremely successful placement, with the individual recommending and setting up a new purchasing system and processes, and subsequently recruiting eight new team members through us.
The Composites Manager role was another key hire for Oyster as new manufacturing sites were being set up and established across the south coast. The successful candidate was able to innovate and drive the business forward, successfully achieving an industry-leading Lloyds Register accreditation status for Oyster’s ongoing manufacturing processes.
