The Brief
Our client, the largest plastic piping manufacturer in the UK and one of the top 10 in Europe, needed a Sales Manager to lead a new business division. This individual was tasked with developing the new arm of the business and helping it establish credibility in the industrial sector through both organic and acquisitive growth.

The Challenge
The role was more than just a sales position. The company needed a candidate with energy, enthusiasm and creative thinking – someone who could bring vision and strategic direction. Initial searches revealed many “steady Eddies” – sales professionals who consistently hit targets but lacked the ambition and forward thinking required to grow market share and drive the business forward.

Tiro Solution
Tiro conducted a detailed search of the client’s main competitors, targeting sales professionals with the right market knowledge. After two weeks of intensive search and selection, we identified three candidates who not only had the relevant industry experience but also the drive and ambition the role demanded. All progressed to the final interview stage, with one candidate standing out for their positive can-do attitude and strategic mindset.

Outcome
The new hire quickly improved the working culture within the small sales team, addressing personnel challenges and enhancing team collaboration. Through leadership, coaching, and mentoring, the Sales Manager has fostered a more cohesive team environment, leading to consistent quarter-on-quarter growth.
