Today’s business world is service-focused and

fast-paced, and the level of service, knowledge and

contacts required to compete in a cut-throat market

is higher than ever before. Such high expectations

often leave some organisations struggling to keep up

with the multi-national pace-setters.

However, more often than not it is these organisations

that bring the most to the table. With a little assistance

to get their voice heard in their industry and in order

to attract the best people, Executive Choice can

help these companies to make a real impact and

contribution to the industries in which they operate.

With many years’ experience in the recruitment

industry, especially the construction and rail industries,

the management team at Executive Choice is perfectly

situated to offer sound advice in these highly specialised

industries. With an unrivalled network of contacts,

the Executive Choice management team is ideally

placed to work with your organisation and ensure

that, whether you’re looking to recruit a permanent

team member, contracted staff or even senior staff on

a consultancy basis, Executive Choice always has a wide

range of candidates ready to fit your needs perfectly.

The Executive Choice team will take the time to get to

know and fully understand your organisation and its

requirements. Our team will then build a profile of

your business and ascertain exactly what it is you are

looking to achieve — then, working alongside you,

we will implement a campaign designed to best tackle

your organisation’s bespoke requirements.

at Executive Choice has access to a talented pool

of outstanding individuals, especially within the

One of the keys to Executive Choice success to date

is that, as a recruitment specialist, we understand and

Our consultants are aware that they are ambassadors

for their client’s business and consequently they will

always look to represent their business as if it were

their own.

integrate with you and understand your business the

better the final outcome.

Testimonials

“Understanding our industry is key for Lynch using Executive Choice for our recruitment needs. I cannot believe the difference they have made to our recruitment process. All the candidates are interviewed face to face before they are presented to us and therefore the quality is of a very high standard. The only problem we have is deciding on which candidate gets the job, as normally there is very little to choose between them.”Mark Kennedy – Operations Director

L Lynch Plant Hire & Haulage Ltd

“We have worked with Executive Choice for a number of years; they are very competent and always helpful, and, unlike a number of professional consultancies, they do not send you an invoice every time they pick up the phone or visit.

They carry out regular audits and update our health and safety policy and procedures ensuring we comply with amendments to safety law.

Their rates are very competitive and their consultants are all charted members of the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health and members of the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management.

We consider them as a real member of the team, giving our company the credibility needed to compete against bigger companies and to deliver projects safely and compliantly.”Wayne Gardner

Consultancy servicesExecutive Choice was created by a group of like-minded business people who recognised the opportunity and potential to help our clients with industry specific advice and support.

At Executive Choice we offer you the opportunity

of working with a range of experienced business

consultants who can help accelerate the growth of

your company.

As well as providing unrivalled recruitment services,

Executive Choice also provides management support

for your business, designed to help you minimise

your overheads while staying one step ahead of the

competition. All Executive Choice consultants have

run their own businesses at some time, and, like

most people, have experienced the ‘highs and lows’

of business along their journey. The Management

Consultancy Service allows you to tap into this

knowledge bank and utilise their experience.

By gaining access to key individuals for a few days a

month in sectors such as Marketing, Sales, Finance,

Safety and HR, companies with foresight can

experience accelerated growth for little outlay and,

importantly, get the expertise they require without

giving away any equity.

When your business expands the last thing you need

is the added cost of permanent staff with bonus

payments, National Insurance and PAYE contributions.

Executive Choice gives you that specialist help you

need without the cost, risk and hassle of employing

someone.

Executive Choice’s specialists are independent self-

employed professionals who are prepared to step in

to become part of your organisation. When you hire a

member of the Executive Choice team you receive all

the benefits of outsourcing, coupled with the loyalty

and steadiness of a company employee, but without

any employer liabilities such as tax and benefits issues.

Testimonials

“Keeping control of our management systems has always been a problem for a small company like ourselves. Executive Choice has implemented an integrated system which joins up our Quality, Environmental and Health, Safety and Rail compliance. Having these guys at the end of the phone with the simple methods they use makes our compliance a walk in the park.”Karen Brown – Managing Director

Same World (UK) Ltd

“We are a rapidly growing not-for-profit organisation and need support with growth management. We couldn’t afford a full time FD but Executive Choice helped us by providing one of their senior consultants. We were therefore able to get the best advice but for only the fraction of the cost of a full time employee.”Dale Hawkins – Managing Director

Plant Equipment and Operators.

Non-executive directorsExecutive Choice has experienced non-executive directors who have the ability to take up any role your business needs. These can include:

Executive Choice also specialises in the placement

of senior management consultants as Non-Executive

Directors. This role is usually a part-time role which is

often project- based or an agreed number of working

days a week or month.

The ball is in your court with regards to how this

works best for you — the individual can operate within

or outside the day-to-day management structure of

the company, and if the requirement is project-based,

the Executive Choice executive will become

an integral part of the business until you decide you

can manage day-to-day without them.

The benefits of having a well-known name on the

board are clear — Executive Choice executives will

not only give your company the status needed to deal

with bigger clients, giving your board the look of a far

more experienced company, but also guide and help

you develop a thorough understanding of the

sometimes unknown market your company is

moving in and therefore help you operate much better

on both a strategic and a tactical level. Additional

credibility with investors, banks, customers and

suppliers is a further bonus, and particularly useful

if moving into a new and unfamiliar market.

Whatever your requirement, Executive Choice is

a flexible and resourceful solution. The team will

work with you on your terms to understand your

requirements and help you achieve your company

goals, giving the impression of strength in depth

which impresses both financial institutions and

potential clients. When your business expands the last

thing you need is the added cost of senior permanent

staff with bonus payments, National Insurance and

PAYE contributions. Executive Choice gives you the

help you need without the cost, risk and hassle of

employing someone. Our specialists are independent

self-employed professionals and we invoice you only

for the actual hours worked or by the tasks/projects

they complete. Therefore they can be the perfect

solution for a busy small/medium business

or entrepreneur.

Debt ResolutionMany bosses would turn to their accountant in

the face of a business debt issue, or even keep the

situation to themselves in a hope that they will ‘figure

out a way round it’.

Companies of all sizes rely on credit to launch, sustain

and expand their corporate operations, all of which

makes business debt a hot topic, so if you’re suffering

from the burden of financial concerns, you’re not alone.

If you’re feeling the pinch, Executive Choice’s Debt

Resolution team are happy to advise you about a

variety of solutions open to you and your business.

and can always tailor a solution to suit your specific

situation.
