Our aim is simple, we are here to help clients find the right people and the right people find the right clients.
We are the authority in FMCG senior Sales and Marketing appointments, operating typically between the £60k and £250k salary bands. Our fees are completely transparent: for example, the fee structure is exactly the same whether we are conducting confidential search or advertised selection.
We don't wrap up the process in corporate jargon or rigid methodologies. With The Simmance Partnership you will always get an honesty, a directness, an insight and answers that are refreshing, open, collaborative and deliver results.
Absorbing conversation
Asking the right questions, listening for the right answers.

For me it's about the lifetime of experience and relationship building combined with Steve's long term approach to recruitment that counts. We’ve known each other and worked together for over 20 years and every time recruitment is mentioned Steve is top of mind as one of the UK’s prominent FMCG recruiters and trusted advisors when it comes to judging people. He is very well networked with the best candidates and his business is without doubt a serious player in recruitment.

We have worked with The Simmance Partnership for three years on a number of assignments across a range of functions, and different levels of seniority. Steve has taken the time to understand our business and each specific brief to provide a good selection of candidates through his extensive network and industry knowledge, with many of these successful hires still part of our team.

Having dealt with Steve and the team for over 30 years as both candidate and client I now exclusively turn to The Simmance Partnership for all my sales and marketing recruitment. Their knowledge of the European FMCG market is 2nd to none, Steve and the team have always listened to my needs and continued to deliver accurately against our briefs. Over the years their headhunting has been 2nd to none and their quality of candidates has allowed me to build several successful businesses.

Steve and team are my go-to recruitment company when it comes to finding Leadership talent on either a permanent or interim basis. He understands the purpose of our business and our core values which makes the selection process so much more effective. I have always been impressed with the candidates he has presented to us and am pleased to have them on my team and on our journey to create the best dairy moments for generations to come.
