  • Client Testimonials

    During 2020/2021 Novo Executive Search worked with Framptons, the Somerset based niche food & drink services company to recruit an experienced Operations Director and Head of Commercial for the site in Shepton Mallett. Through running targeted traditional headhunting searches which were supported by carefully selected national executive advertising campaigns, both roles were filled. Framptons are experiencing some very successful market times, as they grow and diversify services lines and these two senior appointments will make a tremendous difference in terms of the way ahead. Novo’s experienced Food and Drink search practice did a wonderful research, advertising and networking job on these assignments and look forward to helping Framptons with further projects in the future.
