Royal Bank of Scotland Requires Diverse Supply Chain for Success

According to the head of procurement at RBS, Jonathan Sutherland, a diverse supply chain remains the key factor driving success at the bank. Mr.  Jonathan also noted that SMEs' participation is also vital for the bank's long term success mainly because the bank has most SME customers serving about 32% of the sector. This implies that the success of RBS is largely dependant on the success of these SMEs.  Jonathan described these companies as “growth makers".

“A healthy SME market is a healthy client base, which is a healthy RBS, so why would we not be [supporting SMEs through our supply chain]? There is a strategic imperative for us in this. For us it’s a case of strategy, not philanthropy,” as per Mr Jonathan.

Recently, RBS lost its global head of portfolio investment management and money markets after Neil Hookway announced that he would quit to join independent provider of advisory, software services and business consulting IT to the investment banking community, Rule Financial. Mr Hookway took over as the Domain Group's principal consultant. Previously, he has worked in the eurozone contingency preparation programme of RBS and will set his new post immediately.

Widnes Vikings Takes the Help of Cast UK to Find Ideal Candidates

Recently, Cast UK finalised a kit sponsorship deal with Widnes St Maries Vikings- a firm that was previously recognised as a stupendous feeder club for the Superleague side Widnes Vikings RLFC.

Established by a school headmaster and his pupils in 1937, Widnes St Maries was an open-age community club. While competing in the local leagues, the club got to discover and develop local talent. Many of the members of the club continued cutting it in the professional game.  Selling of the players by the Widnes RLFC indeed enabled the club to survive and prosper. However, in June last year (2012), the club had forged a partnership with Widnes Vikings which resulted in their name being changed to St Maries Vikings. Furthermore, the Stobart Stadium's  hallowed turf  would play their home fixtures. Please click here to know more: http://www.castuk.com/supply-chain-jobs-recruitment

Chemical Company Finds Ideal Candidate for the Job with Cast UK

While Tennants Distribution was founded back in the 1700s, it is a thoroughly modern company that manufactures, stores and delivers bulk chemicals throughout the world. If considered from the commercial standpoint, the operation of this company is complex enough with powdered, liquid and solid materials in portfolio. However, considering the amount of legal compliance and safety regulation the company has to deal with faultlessly, it's evident that that Tennants Distribution requires directors and managers that hail from the industry's highest ranks.

Last year in October 2012, there arose an opportunity for the role of Depot and Operations Manager at a Tennants' depot. One of the leading recruitment agencies, Cast UK for creating a shortlist of ideal candidates for them. This did not come as an accident; Cast UK has over the years emerged as the go-to company within the supply chain, logistics and procurement sectors. This leading logistics recruitment consultancy has its base in the UK and deals only with these industries in specific, at managerial as well as executive level. Notably, Cast UK has sourced all its own staff as well from within those sectors. Based out of offices in Birmingham, London and Manchester, Cast UK deals with entire UK as well as into Europe. The consultancy successfully found the ideal candidate for Tennants, thus saving them the time and expense of doing it alone, as well as giving them access to Cast UK's impressive database of manager-level candidates.

The Managing Director of Cast UK's, Wayne Brophy was happy having placed yet another manager with a prominent distribution company and said, “This was not the sort of job anyone with logistics experience could walk straight into.” “The candidate chosen by Tennants had a very specific set of skills, and to find them in one person probably would have taken many months for the company. It was great to be able to speed up the process and find a quality candidate.”
