Wilson Brook Consulting – the executive search firm within the hire and building materials & plumbing & heating products sector, has announced the appointment of Andy Chambers as Business Development Director.
Founded by Neil Holloway in December 2018, Wilson Brook has grown successfully to now have a team of 10. Joining Neil and his team of Senior Consultants Matt Lambert, Imogen Pearson and Jonny Pegler; Chambers brings both recruitment experience from his last 12 months and over 20 years industry experience having worked for leading merchants such as Jewson and EH Smith and Wienerberger on the manufacturing side.
Managing Director and Owner Neil Holloway said: “This is a fantastic appointment and will help me and the existing team both deliver for existing clients and provide a springboard for further growth as we look to bring our highly regarded head-hunting services to more clients within the sector. We’ve developed a fantastic reputation over the last 4 years, placing an interesting variety of senior appointments ranging from Managing Directors (the new MD for JT Dove for instance), Commercial Directors (Elliotts), Sales Directors (Triton Showers), Marketing Directors, Operations Directors and many others. Andy’s unique combination of recruitment and industry experience will be a real asset. More importantly, his values fit perfectly with the business – we deeply appreciate the responsibility of helping people on their career journey along with ensuring that companies can recruit the absolute best people. We have what I believe to be the most thorough, professional, honest process combined with a unique commercial proposition and industry-beating guarantees. I and the team are really looking forward to working with him.”
Chambers said “I am absolutely delighted to be joining Wilson Brook and the already excellent team that is in place.
Having spent several decades first-hand in the sectors we recruit within, along with then having spent additional time within a building products recruitment business, I am really excited to help further progress this already excellent business.
Focussing on board, director and senior management appointments in our specialist sectors of building products and several others closely related, combined with probably the most thorough and relevant proactive recruitment process within the industry; I feel the team at Wilson brook are very well placed to continue their success to date and I am very pleased to be joining in a Business Development capacity.
We have a number of exciting plans in the pipeline to ensure we retain and indeed improve our position as the number 1 executive search firm within our chosen sectors. Exciting times ahead!”
