Client success stories

Nigel Wright Group has a proven track record in placing senior marketing leaders across a wide variety of sectors, including consumer goods, industrial manufacturing, technology, services, public institutions, and third-sector organisations. Our deep understanding of sector-specific challenges, paired with our ability to identify commercially astute, creative, and strategically minded professionals, makes us a trusted recruitment partner for board-level marketing appointments.

At the most senior level, we’ve successfully delivered Chief Marketing Officer appointments at Cooke Optics, Henderson Design Group, Identi., and Space Group. These hires were central to reshaping brand strategy, launching new products, and leading global marketing teams. 

The Chief Marketing & Digital Officer appointment at The Inn Collection Group further illustrates our capacity to deliver hybrid leadership talent to fast-growing hospitality brands.

In the consumer sector, we’ve delivered multiple high-profile placements that support brand development, market expansion, and digital transformation.

We partnered with Nuby, a leading baby products company, to appoint a Head of UK Marketing, and with Handbag Clinic to secure a Head of Marketing during a crucial phase of business growth.

Furthermore, our work with The Feel Good Group, where we recruited another Head of Marketing, illustrates our ability to source high-performing candidates within fast-moving consumer environments.

Likewise, at RAD Global, a consumer-led wellness brand, we placed a Marketing Director responsible for leading product positioning and digital performance strategy.

Within the industrial sector, our placements include a Head of Global Product Management & Marketing at CMP Products, a business supplying cable glands and associated products to global markets.

At Kilfrost, which specialises in de-icing technologies, we appointed a Head of Sales & Marketing to lead cross-functional growth initiatives.

These roles demonstrate our capability to identify marketing leaders with strong technical understanding, who can drive revenue and product adoption across B2B and international markets.

In the tech and innovation space, we’ve worked with Space Group to appoint a Chief Marketing Officer for its digital twin product, Twinview—an example of our ability to deliver strategic marketing expertise into highly specialised software businesses.

At Troo, an energy platform provider, we placed a Head of Marketing, while One Utility Bill entrusted us with the recruitment of a Head of Brand Marketing to lead its customer acquisition strategy.

These roles reflect the increasing importance of brand differentiation, performance marketing, and customer insight in tech-driven industries.

Our services sector clients have also benefited from our expertise. For example, we supported Hays Travel in securing a Head of Marketing, and Unitas Wholesale appointed a Head of Marketing through us to enhance their value proposition and supplier partnerships.

At Go North East, we filled a Head of Marketing position with responsibility for customer engagement and stakeholder relations across public transport services.

In the public and third sectors, our experience includes placing an Interim Head of Marketing at Education Partnership North East and a Head of Marketing & Communications at York Minster, where candidates were selected not only for their leadership and digital credentials but also for their cultural sensitivity and ability to communicate purpose.

Gentoo Group, a housing association, hired a Head of Marketing & Engagement through Nigel Wright, ensuring brand alignment with community-focused services.

With each appointment, Nigel Wright Group takes a tailored, consultative approach—ensuring a long-term fit between client and candidate, and supporting the development and execution of ambitious marketing strategies across all sectors.
