Specialist Packaging Machinery Recruitment Agency

Hinton Recruitment Partners helps packaging machinery manufacturers, distributors, resellers, specialist equipment suppliers and UK subsidiaries of international machinery companies recruit experienced sales, commercial and senior leadership professionals.

Our employer-led packaging machinery recruitment service is focused on the people who sell and lead capital-equipment businesses. We understand that a manufacturer, distributor, reseller and UK subsidiary can each have a different route to market, territory structure and hiring requirement—not a general need for packaging, materials, print or FMCG recruitment.

Recruitment for Manufacturers, Distributors & UK Subsidiaries

Director Jamie Gledhill has completed specialist recruitment assignments since beginning his recruitment career in 2013. His work supports machinery manufacturers, distributors, resellers and UK subsidiaries seeking mid-to-senior salespeople and leaders with credible market and commercial experience.

Whether the requirement is for a hard-to-find territory salesperson, a commercial manager or a leader who can grow a business, Hinton tailors the recruitment process to the vacancy. That can range from recruitment advice and targeted candidate sourcing to a detailed headhunt or retained search campaign.

  • Area Sales Manager
  • Regional Sales Manager
  • Business Development Manager
  • Key Account Manager
  • Technical Sales Manager
  • UK Sales Manager
  • National Sales Manager
