Since being founded in 2017, Cooper Edwards has placed a French operations director into a capital equipment manufacturer in Yorkshire, a Polish international sales manager into a manufacturer in Sheffield and a Taiwanese sales manager and a marketing manager from Malta into a leading nanotechnology manufacturer in Oxford.
Alex Cooper, founder and director at Cooper Edwards, said: “I’m incredibly fortunate to have built up a well-placed and reliable network of connections around the world over the years, which is now opening up global opportunities to me as a consultant. I can pass this on to my clients to help them achieve their business goals.
“Throughout the course of my career, I have gained experience working in a variety of market sectors in various different business cultures, which has helped me to develop an invaluable knowledge and understanding of overseas markets and how they operate.
“The placement of international talent was not necessarily my focus when I started the business, but it appears that I have found a niche!”
One of the companies working with Cooper Edwards’ wide range of international expertise is Sheffield-based Home Décor, a consumer durables manufacturer for the DIY market.
Max Crosby-Browne, chief executive officer at Home Décor, said: “With its multicultural background and understanding of various business cultures, Cooper Edwards was the ideal partner to source an international sales manager for us to expand our market share in mainland Europe.
“The company efficiently and successfully placed a multilingual Polish national with the exact experience we were looking for. After only a few months she is already making a difference, leveraging her strong exposure to our target key accounts across Europe.”
Their personal approach to search and selection means that their consultants work closely alongside clients and candidates in order to build relationships and ensure both a professional and cultural fit when making placements.
Cooper Edwards provides highly-effective search and selection services for businesses operating across the manufacturing, automotive, aerospace and subsea, capital equipment and FMCG sectors.
