Cast UK, which specialises in
recruiting specifically in procurement, buying, supply chain and logistics, has
strengthened its team with six new promotions in its Manchester office.
Nicola Hough has been appointed to
the position of senior consultant within Cast UK’s FMCG and Retail team,
covering the buying, merchandising and supply chain sector in the North West
and Yorkshire. Nicola joined the company after spending nine years as a buyer
for TJ Hughes, Makro Wholesale and Grace Cole, bringing a wealth of industry
expertise.
The company has also appointed Carla
Rossi, Ryan Albrighton, Dion West, Ellie Connor and Liam Halliday to the
position of consultant after successfully completing Cast UK’s Graduate
Training Academy.
Carla, originally from Montreal,
Canada, joined the company after working in procurement with multi-national
brewing company, Molson Coors. At Cast UK, she’s worked her way up from resourcer
to procurement consultant and looks after the supply chain and procurement
divisions in manufacturing and engineering across the Midlands.
Ryan joined the company after
studying at The University of Manchester. Progressing from the position of
resourcer to consultant, Ryan now looks after logistics, recruiting across
Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes.
Dion, now a supply chain and purchasing
consultant for FMCG enterprises in the North West and Yorkshire, joined Cast UK’s
graduate scheme after obtaining his degree from Leeds Metropolitan.
Ellie, logistics consultant for fashion
and food industries in Manchester and Lancashire, graduated from Manchester
Metropolitan University and joined Cast UK to take part in the graduate scheme.
Liam, now responsible for supply chain
and purchasing for FMCG companies in London and the South East, joined Cast
after receiving his degree from the University of Manchester and completing an
internship with Umbro where he worked as a supply chain coordinator.
Cast UK’s model of working, which
sees a departure from the typical 360 recruitment structure, ensures that
graduate resourcers focus exclusively on supporting candidates, while
benefitting from one-to-one support and mentoring from consultants to aid them
in their career development.
Speaking about her experience of
the graduate scheme, Carla said: “The opportunity to get to know my market and
the world of specialist recruitment before taking on a full consultant role has
been really valuable. The support from the senior team is brilliant as they are
all so driven, enthusiastic and know everything that you can about this
business.”
Wayne Brophy, managing director of
Cast UK, added: “The launch of our Graduate Training Academy has been a real
success, with all of our participants excelling and earning a promotion to
consultant level. Now that our new
recruits have completed the programme, we’ll be attending the University of
Manchester Graduate Recruitment Fair [stand 32] on Wednesday 11th
June to seek out fresh new talent who are keen to start a career in the
recruitment sector.”
