Case Study
A Nordic-Based Wood Product Firm engaged Braddock’s Materials Team to assist them with the build out of their USA-based Field Sales, Technical Service Management & Applications Engineering functions. We dedicated a team of internal research consultants to prioritize the searches, including a nationwide search to source relevant individuals with experience in Wood, Pulp, Paper or related products and with relevant functional experience. The project took 4.5 months with Braddock successfully placing 1 Technical Service Manager, 2 Field Sales Managers and 5 Applications Engineers.
