Case Study : Alison Smith – Financial Controller at Ancorite

Recruitment Consultancy Cork Griffiths has successfully placed Alison Smith in the position of Financial Controller at industrial floor and surface protection business, Ancorite, based in the North West.

Alison was looking for a long-term move to a company where she would have a broader remit and the opportunity to get involved in a variety of commercial roles to complement her financial background. It was important to Alison that this move was right so the credibility of her CV was maintained.

Alison had worked with Cork Griffiths in the past and knew they were an independent, smaller business where the directors are personally involved and their attention is guaranteed. “Unlike some of the bigger, target-led, sales hungry recruitment agencies, you know the people at Cork Griffiths are in it for the long term and so they are genuinely interested in matching you with the right employer. This works because I trust them and would go back to them if I ever need to recruit here at Ancorite” explained Alison. “Being ‘sold’ any old job just to get someone’s sales figures up doesn’t appeal to me in the slightest and yet this does go on in most of the bigger companies” she finished.
