Aerospace, Aviation and Defence Specialist

AEROSPACE, DEFENCE AND AVIATION

The commercial aviation sector has been in a period of significant upheaval during the last few years. Airlines are fighting to maintain profitability and must continue to focus on achieving further cost reductions and higher levels of operational excellence.

Rising competition in the industry requires companies to become more focused on managing quality and increasing innovation through greater technology transfer and strong leadership.

Digital technology opens opportunities for the development of new products and services, as well as for more efficient supply chains to produce and maintain traditional goods. Companies in the aviation, aerospace and defence sector are in need of outstanding digital leadership talent to embrace innovative technologies and capitalize on their full potential.

Executives in the aviation, aerospace and defence industry need to have a solid understanding of government purchasing trends and a firm grasp of the political and military requirements that drive these trends. In addition, leaders must have relationship skills to deal with financial community and environmental issues.

As part of our growth strategy it was essential for Clearsprings Support Services to partner with a professional and agile business to work alongside us and execute our acquisition plan. Following a robust selection process it was clear that Novo had the right credentials and through Dale exhibited a level of competence and understanding which made my decision to engage with Novo very easy. The project managed by Novo and the performance from day one underpinned the selection of partner. Throughout I received a high level of analysis, good and timely communication and positive feedback from acquisition targets. As a result of Novo’s commitment and hard work we have acquired 5 very good businesses; a great team effort. We plan to embark on a third round of acquisitions next year and will have no hesitation in choosing Novo as a partner. Managing Director, Clearsprings Support Services Ltd

“Following a highly successful trial with Sainsbury Catalina was asked to roll out a multi-million pound loyalty solution and Novo was retained to find key personnel to manage this contract and relationship. They followed a structured and detailed approach which led the presentation of a number of high calibre shortlists from which a Business Unit Director and Account Director were selected. At this point, there were several delays in agreeing the final details of the contract and with Novo’s help we were able to retain the interest of the selected candidates until we were able to bring them on board. Throughout, all communication was clear, their work transparent and our expectations were managed well at each stage through to final engagement. “Novo has been retained again to find additional people and of the original candidates, one has gone on to become the UK MD while the other is being considered for an international business development role. “Through Novo’s commitment and hard work, we have been able to retain and build the key account whilst strengthening the management team in Europe. The recruitment process exceeded our expectations and has been a huge success. We did not hesitate to use Novo’s services in the future.” Catalina Marketing

“CACI has asked Novo to help us with a number of senior level appointments. Each role required individuals with very specific skills and experience and we felt that we would be unable to fill the positions using alternative methods such as advertising. We have been consistently pleased with the work Novo has done on our behalf. They provide a thorough and professional service at all stages of the recruitment process, from creating the job specification through to the final discussions with the selected candidate. They communicate regularly and take the time to really understand our business and the specific requirements for each role. Novo has always been able to fulfil the briefs we have given them and we have been impressed by the candidates put forward for interview. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services to other businesses.” Vice-President Consumer Marketing, CACI
