Client Success Stories

Nigel Wright Group has a strong and diverse track record in HR executive recruitment, working with a wide range of organisations to appoint senior HR professionals who drive strategic change, build high-performing cultures, and deliver business growth. Our placements span industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, education, hospitality, retail, technology, and the public sector, demonstrating our deep understanding of the HR function and its importance in today’s rapidly evolving workplace.

Manufacturing

We’ve partnered with large manufacturers such as 2 Sisters Food Group, Heineken, and Moores Furniture Group, supporting their people strategies through the appointment of senior HR leaders. These roles are critical in fast-paced, unionised, and operationally complex environments, where people strategies must align closely with business performance and productivity goals.

Similarly, our appointments at Piramal Healthcare, Walker Filtration, and Natara underscore our strength in supporting life sciences and advanced manufacturing firms that require HR leaders to balance compliance, engagement, and performance management.

Professional Services & Technology

In the professional services and technology sectors, we’ve supported firms such as Bloom Procurement Services, Turnitin, and Opia, helping them recruit senior HR professionals to lead on employee engagement, organisational development, and global talent management. Our placements with businesses such as ZIGUP and Solotech have included Group and Interim HR Director roles, underlining our strength in both permanent and interim executive search. These clients value our ability to identify HR professionals who can navigate change, scale rapidly, and implement progressive people strategies.

Public & Non-Profit

Our work with public sector and non-profit organisations has been equally impactful. We’ve supported HR leadership recruitment at Connect Health, The North East Ambulance Service NHS Trust, Education Partnership North East, and The Halo Trust, placing individuals who bring strategic insight, governance experience, and a deep understanding of public accountability. Our ability to attract candidates with the right mix of values, resilience, and leadership experience ensures that organisations in these sectors can continue delivering essential services while improving the employee experience.

Regional & Family-Owned

Nigel Wright has also delivered HR executive recruitment solutions to regional and family-owned businesses such as Ringtons, Pneuma Group, and THF Holdings, where the focus is often on transformation, succession planning, and culture evolution.

Across all these appointments, our consultative approach ensures we understand not only the business context but also the team dynamics, growth ambitions, and leadership challenges involved. This enables us to consistently deliver HR leaders who make a meaningful and lasting impact.
