Industry

Today, manufacturing businesses have to compete in a global marketplace against rivals in emerging markets where labour and materials are dramatically cheaper. The only way ahead for these companies to remain competitive is to focus on advanced technology, design, innovation and bringing new products to market.

Alongside this major challenge, organisations also have to negotiate the challenges of cost reduction, developing outsourcing capabilities and optimising supply chain expertise whilst providing excellent customer service. Harvey Nash's specialist Industry practice excels in sourcing executive talent with the sophisticated skills these companies require.

The practice covers many sectors, including automotive, aerospace, component manufacturing, chemicals, plastics capital equipment and engineering consultancy and have worked with organisations in appointing staff in overseas subsidiary companies. We have a dedicated Infrastructure practice that concentrates on this vitally important, growing sector, that will be subject to substantial investment and change over the next decade.
