Our Homeware Recruitment Track Record
Our homeware work spans design-led brands, heritage manufacturers and national retailers. Clients we have supported include:
- The Rayware Group: a kitchenware, tableware and drinkware supplier with a portfolio of established brands
- Joseph Joseph: a design-led housewares brand known for product innovation
- AGA Rangemaster Group: a maker of range cookers and premium kitchen products
- De’Longhi: an international household appliance group, including coffee machines and kitchen appliances
- Villeroy & Boch: a ceramics business covering tableware and bathroom products
- Amtico International: a designer and manufacturer of premium flooring
- Barker & Stonehouse: a family-owned furniture retailer
- Bensons for Beds: a specialist bed and mattress retailer
These clients cover the full homeware value chain, from product design and manufacture to multi-site retail. That breadth matters for employers in Merseyside. Our consultants understand how a range buyer thinks, what a supply chain director faces during peak season, and why a brand team needs commercial as well as creative strength.
Across these clients we have made senior appointments where the hire shaped growth plans, channel strategy and day-to-day resilience. Every assessment looks at the impact a candidate will have, alongside the experience they bring.
Homeware Roles We Recruit Across the Liverpool City Region
Board and Executive Leadership Positions
We recruit managing directors, chief executives, finance directors, commercial directors and operations directors for homeware organisations. Each brief is shaped around the next stage of the business, whether that means scaling, investment or transformation.
Commercial, Marketing and Channel Specialists
Homeware growth depends on strong relationships with retailers, marketplaces and direct customers. Our team places national account managers, category leads, ecommerce heads, brand managers and trade marketing specialists.
Product, Supply Chain and Operations
Sourcing, quality and logistics decide margin in this sector. We appoint product developers, sourcing managers, supply chain leads, planners and factory managers who keep ranges moving from concept to shelf.
Permanent and Interim Homeware Recruitment
Some leadership roles need a permanent appointment that will shape a team for years. Others need an experienced professional on site within weeks. We offer both, and many clients use them together.
Permanent hires suit:
- building or reshaping a senior team for the long term
- succession planning for key directors
- new functions created by growth or investment
Interim appointments suit:
- covering a critical gap while a permanent search runs
- leading a defined change programme, such as a systems rollout or site consolidation
- adding specialist capacity during peak trading or a product launch
Experienced interim professionals step in quickly and deliver results against agreed goals. Once the permanent hire joins, a clean handover protects momentum. That joined-up recruitment process keeps homeware businesses steady at every level of the team.
How We Run a Senior Homeware Search
Our retained executive search follows a clear, collaborative path:
- Briefing: we agree the role, the culture and the commercial outcomes the hire must achieve.
- Market mapping: consultants identify talent across homeware and adjacent consumer categories, including people who are not actively looking.
- Assessment: candidates are tested for capability, values and likely impact on the business.
- Shortlist and selection: clients meet a focused shortlist with detailed insight on each person.
- Onboarding support: we stay in touch through the first year to help each new leader settle and perform.
Throughout the search process, we challenge assumptions and widen the field where that leads to a stronger outcome.
Executive Search, Advisory and Specialist Recruitment
Our executive recruitment services give homeware businesses three ways to work with us.
- Executive search: securing leaders who shape your future, from board directors to heads of function.
- Advisory: expert insight for wiser decisions on leadership structure, role design and the talent market.
- Specialist recruitment: connecting you with talent others cannot, across commercial, operational and technical roles.
Each one draws on the same industry knowledge and the same care for integrity, teamwork and service excellence.
