Manufacturing and Engineering
Building success
Our Manufacturing and Engineering Practice covers automotive, building products, process & chemical industries, and electronic and precision engineering.
Automotive
In the manufacturing area, the weakest division is currently automotive, where a number of companies have cut back on their operations and reduced their requirement for personnel. Nevertheless, there are bright spots in the overall background, and some manufacturers are looking for skilled middle and senior management and above. Other parts of manufacturing are more robust.
Building Products
The UK’s building products industry has a vital role in UK construction generally. Around 50,000 people are employed in approximately 2,000 workplaces throughout the nation, with a few very large firms dominating the sector. Construction projects, particularly those related to government expenditure, are still taking place and therefore the demand for building products and jobs in this area are still holding up.
Process and chemical industries
The chemical industry is one of the UK’s largest manufacturing industries, and its products form the basis for almost every manufacturing activity. As such, the industry is to some extent recession-proofed. At Artemis, we have specialist managing consultants dedicated entirely to this industry, with an outstanding track record of matching excellent individuals to satisfying, challenging and rewarding jobs.
Electronic and precision engineering
These sectors are faring better. Big ticket engineering projects are still taking place, both in the UK and abroad where UK skills and expertise are highly valued. Coupled with this, the overall skills shortage in UK Electronic and precision engineering means that outstanding recruitment consultancy services are more important than ever before.
At Artemis, we have sector-focused consultants who are well versed in the requirements and trends of these marketplaces. Whatever your recruitment and business development needs, we can help.
