Midland Expressway

Commercial Director

As a rare role in the UK, CEO at Midland Expressway, Andy Cliffe, decided that executive search would give him the widest reach with the most targeted approach.

“We were clear on the role specification, skills and competencies, but Hanover Fox brought added colour and definition.  With their extensive market access, they focused on which sectors and companies we should be looking at and took the time to understand our leadership and cultural requirements to identify people with a style that would work within our organisation.

“Hanover Fox interviewed the strongest potential candidates and provided concise summaries and insightful input that helped us to choose six to take forward to our interview process. They also helped us to appoint an occupational psychologist to carry out telephone interviews and psychometric testing.

“Hanover Fox’s assessment of the candidates’ leadership style and culture was invaluable, and was supported further in their comprehensive reference-taking with our preferred candidate. I found them responsive, client focused and approachable throughout and I would recommend them without hesitation.”
