Executive Search - Engineering Industry Specialists
The UK's manufacturing landscape has changed dramatically over the past decade due to globalisation in general and the rise of low-cost economies in particular. Today's manufacturing and engineering sector is characterised, on the one hand by large groups that are looking for international talent to run their global businesses, and on the other national/regional manufacturing businesses/subsidiaries that prosper based on their engineering knowledge and final assembly production for "local" markets.
Novo is well placed to serve the needs of these companies, with dedicated executive search specialists across a range of manufacturing and engineering sectors, including:
- Aerospace & Defence
The aerospace and defence sector is undergoing considerable change. On the civil side, established multinationals continue to dominate with large platforms. Further down the supply-chain, smaller companies are having to collaborate in new ways in order to gain access to major new international programmes.
- Automotive
The automotive industry remains a pivotal part of the UK manufacturing sector. Despite a trend of migration to low cost manufacturing regions, altogether seven global automotive companies manufacture cars in the UK, together with a number of truck, van and bus companies and many of the world's major component manufacturers.
- Building Products
The building products sector is one of the most significant in terms of its contribution to the UK economy. It covers such diverse product groups as bricks and clay, lighting equipment, plumbing materials, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning equipment and sanitaryware.
- Electronics & Precision Engineering
The Electronics and Precision Engineering sectors remain strong in the UK. Whilst high volume commodity manufacturing and sourcing is routinely redeployed to the low cost regions of the world, the UK enjoys a sound reputation for innovation, quality and technical excellence.
- Process & Chemical Industries
The Process and Chemical Industries remain strong in the UK. Whilst high volume commodity manufacturing and sourcing is routinely redeployed to the low cost regions of the world, the UK enjoys a sound reputation for innovation, quality and technical excellence.
