Managing Director (Netherlands) & Sales Manager (North America)

Opportunity

Restrain offer a technology solution to potato farmers and processors. The unique product meets the sustainability needs of businesses whilst being cost effective and improving profitability.

The market dynamics in Europe created a significant opportunity for global growth and the USA was identified as a strategic focus. In addition, the company wanted to bolster their senior leadership team and Eden was appointed to lead the searches for a Global Managing Director, based in the Netherlands, and a Sales Manager, based in North America.

‘I was very happy, it was a difficult role, and we took a leap of faith using Eden in North America. However, they were timely and professional. We have regularly recommended Eden to industry colleagues and when we ask candidates about Eden, we always receive a 100% glowing report!’

Andy Ferguson, Group Human Resources Director, Produce Investments.

Our approach

Utilising our knowledge of the global Agritech industry, combined with the support of an industry-leading research team, Eden was able to offer a range of candidates for each position.

Our understanding of the Restrain business and the wider group ensured that we had a good sense of the ‘cultural’ fit required for these appointments to be a success.

The results

Subsequently, two important appointments were made who both offered exceptional skills and the difference to be able to take the company forward.
