The Furniture Makers’ Company success story
Formed in 1951, The Furniture Makers’ Company is a City of London livery company and the furnishing industry’s charity. Their mission is to provide leadership to the industry - promoting excellence through Guild Marks, nurturing talent through education, and helping those in need from within the industry, past or present.
Our work with The Furniture Makers’ Company
We started working with the organisation in 2024 when they needed support with three hires. Two of these roles were maternity covers, and one was a replacement hire as the individual moved on for a promotion outside the charity. We filled the following roles in just two months...
- Fundraising and Regions Executive
- Education and Training Manager
- Membership and Events Manager
Why work with a specialist recruiter?
With three people leaving the organisation, it was incredibly important that each of these roles were filled quickly. The firm had been working on the roles internally for a while, so to avoid any more time lost they partnered with our specialist consultants.
As an expert in the industry, specialist not-for-profit recruiter, Abigail Wager, was best positioned to step in and quickly source top talent. Leveraging her network, Abigail found excellent candidates for each role in just two months.
Changing the search parameters for best results
The organisation’s current Fundraising and Regions Executive was leaving the job for a promotion with another charity. This individual had joined the organisation as a grad and had made an incredibly impact in the role. To match their experience, The Furniture Makers’ Company was looking for a more senior candidate to fill the gap.
However, having assessed the market, Abigail advised the organisation to consider another graduate hire. The candidates she had originally spoken to didn’t seem to fit the role. So, Abigail put forward a grad and they were blown away by their enthusiasm and fundraising for the industry. This was arguably more important when joining a new charity.
Abbie and the team recently helped us fill a few vacancies. They quickly understood our requirements and sourced some great candidates. Their communication was prompt and professional, making the recruitment process quick and painless. We will be working with them again for sure. Thanks for your excellent service!
