Executive search consultancy Walmsley Wilkinson has played a pivotal role in helping fragrance manufacturer Carvansons expand its senior management team as the company enters a major phase of growth.
Following the launch of its cutting-edge facility in Lancashire and an increase in global operations, Carvansons sought to bolster its leadership structure with several key appointments to sustain its expansion strategy.
Walmsley Wilkinson guided the entire recruitment process, from defining role profiles and salary benchmarking to sourcing, interviewing, and assessing top-tier candidates. The firm also provided detailed shortlists, structured interview formats, and managed communications to ensure a seamless experience for both the client and applicants.
Luke Whowell, Managing Director of Carvansons said: “We have embarked on an ambitious but achievable plan to double our revenues. To support that growth, we needed the right people and infrastructure in place. We wanted to attract talented individuals, with specialist skill sets who importantly shared our values.
“Walmsley Wilkinson were recommended to us, and they have done a first class job in helping us to hire a number of operational and functional managers for the business.
“Whilst it’s exciting times for us at Carvansons, it’s also fast paced and demanding. From the first meeting, it was clear that Linda Walmsley and Taryn Wilkinson were recruitment professionals. It has been a pleasure to work with them, and we are delighted with our newly expanded management team.”
Taryn Wilkinson, Director of Walmsley Wilkinson said: “We have prior experience of successfully recruiting leadership teams for organisations, but this task always runs more smoothly when you can partner with a fabulous organisation such as Carvansons. They have an exciting story to tell, the ability to invest for the future and an appetite to make positive change.
“Carvansons wanted to strengthen areas such as Sales, Purchasing, HR, IT and Manufacturing by bringing in proven management professionals and it was key to implement a robust and thorough recruitment process. Working closely with Finance Director Margaret Hopley, we did everything we could to ensure the team at Carvansons and all candidates in the process had a great experience.”
