The Drinks Company / Stock Spirits

In 2021, worked with the Managing Director to hire a National Account Manager, linked to business growth. Within 1 year, this individual was promoted to Sales Director and I subsequently recruited into his own team in 2022. By 2025, The Drinks Company had been acquired by Stock Spirits. Linked to the acquisition, the Sales Director was looking to recruit 3x new positions into the team – Wholesale Account Manager, On Trade Sales Manager and Trade Marketing Manager.  

We were tasked with recruiting the 3 positions at the same time, with the goal of aligning interview dates for accessibility (due to some stakeholders being based in Europe and needing to travel to the UK). We hosted the interviews at the Seven office and successfully recruited all 3 positions, making offers to each candidate within 1 month of briefing. The 3 new starters joined on the same day, in September 2025.  

3x placements, all within 1 month and starting within the business in September 2025 – the ideal timeframe as communicated upon briefing.  

Successfully grew the UK team and subsequently asked to recruit 2 further positions, within Finance, towards the end of 2025. As a result, we hired 3x new individuals into the Finance team and it has been a pleasure to play a part in shaping the UK team, having directly recruited 7 members of the current UK business.
