Case Studies

President – Polymers
Braddock partnered with a long-standing PE client on a retained, exclusive mandate to appoint a President & CEO to lead a value-creation phase within a portfolio company. Within two weeks, we delivered a shortlist of 10 highly qualified candidates, resulting in a successful hire within eight weeks of project launch. We have since continued to support the business with key placements across R&D and Sales.

Business Development Manager – Polyolefins
Braddock was engaged by a Specialty Chemicals manufacturer focused on high performance polyolefins serving the electronics and defence sectors to appoint a Business Development Manager to drive new business growth. Working closely with the leadership team, we identified three highly targeted candidates with directly relevant sector expertise. The quality and alignment of the shortlist were such that the client ultimately hired two candidates instead of the single position initially mandated.

Plant Manager – Metalworking
Braddock regularly delivers Plant Management searches; however, this assignment was particularly complex due to the requirement for relocation to a remote area of Arkansas. Leveraging our extensive network of relocation-ready candidates, we presented five qualified individuals, securing a successful hire who committed to relocation within six weeks of engagement.
