Leadership Search for Packaging Machinery Businesses

Jamie Gledhill has won retained campaigns for executive roles including Managing Director and General Manager appointments. Hinton applies a bespoke process to each assignment rather than treating leadership recruitment as a larger version of contingency recruitment.

Senior Appointments

  • Managing Director and General Manager
  • Sales Director and Commercial Director
  • Head of Sales
  • Other board and senior leadership appointments

Search Priorities

  • Relevant capital-equipment market credibility
  • Leadership across commercial and technical teams

A senior search can include market mapping, direct approaches and structured assessment against an agreed brief. Hinton works directly with the hiring business to understand why the appointment is being made and what success must look like after the hire.
