Limbs & Things

International Sales Manager

Limbs & Things, a leading manufacturer of medical training solutions and simulators, needed a new International Sales Manager to deliver ambitious sales growth through 70+ distributors worldwide.

Unable to find the right candidate using contingent recruitment, Commercial Director, Anne Allin, turned to Sue Harvey at Hanover Fox, knowing that she would bring a completely different level of commitment and reach.

“I had successfully used Sue for senior appointments in the past,” Anne says. “I’m always impressed by the effort she puts into understanding our business and the role. That feeds into the Assignment Brief they create, and gives candidates confidence in what they are applying for.

“I like the way Hanover Fox take on the hard graft of sifting the wheat from the chaff, as well as communications with potential candidates. I know people are being treated well on our behalf.

“We are quite a ‘quirky’ family company operating in a niche field, so it’s not an easy task, and personality fit is key. When we talked through the longlist, I had the reassurance that Sue had spoken with each and every one and knew their strengths and weaknesses.

“Given we were recruiting in COVID times, we conducted initial interviews online, with only the final interview in-person. The Directors here were impressed with the chosen candidate and I’m delighted to say that our new International Sales Manager has started brilliantly.”
