Ennis & Co Group

“Ennis & Co adopt an extremely effective, disciplined methodology and retain a thorough understanding of our organisation, which ensures we are always presented with carefully assessed, quality candidates respecting our cultural fit entirely. The professionalism of the company is enhanced by the excellent relationships that have been built between the Ennis & Co team and our own Management team. Having worked on a wide range of global roles for our organisation that are often extremely intricate, nothing is too complicated for Ennis & Co due to their wealth of industry knowledge. Their communications are always frequent and informative throughout the entire engagement and they are completely committed to delivering on client satisfaction. I have found working with Lynda and the team both rewarding for the business and a pleasure.”

In my previous position as Managing Director of an NSC, we required a trusted executive search company that could truly make a difference. As we had worked with Ennis & Co on previous searches, we decided it was the best option to select a company that knew our organisation so well. Ennis & Co certainly delivered on finding us an integral candidate for our organisation, where we found the entire process, as always, extremely professional, highly communicative, and robust. Within my current position as Group Managing Director and Senior Vice President for a Global OEM, we wouldn’t hesitate to hire Ennis & Co to source new talent for us in such an ever-changing market.

I have gotten to know Ennis & Co extremely well over the past ten years, as not only have I worked with them from a client perspective – they also facilitated one of my biggest career moves, with my current placement as Regional Director of UK & Europe. I had gotten to know Lynda within my previous role as Global Sales Director for a luxury OEM and what has always struck me about her approach, as well as the whole Ennis & Co team’s, is not only their breadth of knowledge of the automotive industry – yet their commitment to understanding both candidate and client needs wholeheartedly. Ennis & Co continue to be a tremendous source of support and I’d recommend them highly.

They were genuinely concerned about my interests as well as their client’s, with the aim of making sure the fit was right for both parties. I worked closely with the Ennis & Co team, who supported, coached and advised me throughout the process, putting me in a strong and confident position. I would recommend them to both employers and candidates without hesitation.

I have had the pleasure of working with Ennis & Co for many years now, and it’s a relationship I am happy to continue. Ennis & Co have taken on complicated assignments for me in both my previous role and my current organisation, ranging from a manufacturing as well as a retail perspective, yet their extensive knowledge, ability to remain calm and agile under pressure and genuine understanding of the initial brief shine through to deliver fantastic results. Ennis & Co’s true understanding of people within organisations is also reflected in the fantastic work they deliver to champion diversity and inclusion. Year on year, they continue to include me in their initiatives and events, including their Advisory Group which is a much awaited industry networking opportunity on the calendar, and it is something I’ve come to look forward to as this part of our relationship continues. I would certainly recommend Ennis & Co as a trusted executive search partner – I still do!

Ennis & Co have proved responsive and proactive, always presenting quality candidates. I have been especially impressed with their understanding of our business and culture and ensuring we get the right team fit. Their success comes from longstanding relationships; confidentiality is always respected and communication to both clients and candidates is proactive and supportive.

We’ve partnered with Ennis & Co on a number of searches for senior executives. I have always been struck by the ability of Lynda and the team to deliver against agreed deadlines, be one step ahead throughout the search and also the time that Lynda takes to genuinely understand the role and read between the lines of what the hiring manager really wants, so that they present real diversity of candidates back to us.

What makes the team at Ennis & Co stand out is the quality and depth of the recruitment brief they deliver, coupled with the personal care that goes into every interaction. Whether client or candidate, the insight communicated about the organisation, role and ideal candidate means a quicker, better match and the time taken to understand candidates leaves a great impression of Ennis & Co and the recruiting organisation.

We have been delighted to entrust Ennis & Co with senior roles for our organisation. They follow a structured, detailed approach which always leads to the presentation of high calibre shortlists conveying impressive attention to detail. Throughout the process, Ennis & Co are communicative, their work transparent and our expectations are managed extremely well at each stage, through to final engagement. I have also highly valued their passion for the automotive industry itself, and have admired the initiatives they have delivered to promote diversity and inclusion – as well as the work they are doing to entice new talent into the sector. This is most recently within their work alongside Autocar with the exciting competition “Drivers of Change” – of which our organisation are proud sponsors. I’d genuinely recommend Ennis & Co as not only a trusted executive search partner; yet legitimate automotive advocates looking to make a real difference.
