The Challenge
Based in Cambridgeshire, Volmary Ltd is the UK division of family-owned Volmary GmbH, founded in Germany in 1925. The company produces high-quality ornamental and edible young plants for UK growers, combining traditional methods with advanced greenhouse technology for efficient, sustainable production. Their range now also includes poinsettias.
The Outcome
“I really enjoyed working on this project for two key reasons. First, Wayne gave me time to fully understand the role before the process began. Spending the morning on site and plenty of time discussing the briefhelped me turn what was on paper into a clear picture of daily operations, the company’s vision, and how this role fits in.
Second, the strong working relationship Wayne and I built made a real difference. Over the two-month process, we stayed open to feedback and worked collaboratively, which allowed me to deliver a more consultative service and ultimately achieve the best outcome for the client.”
Sarah Want, Team Manager, Horticulture
“We’ve worked with Guy and the team at MorePeople for a long time and trust them to take care of some of our more senior recruitment needs. When a new and senior position was identified with very sensitive disclosure demands, we were very happy that Sarah was assigned to the project. Sarah was thorough in gaining the correct information to research candidates and sensitive to the contextual needs of the project.
Over a long period of many discussions and interviews, the shortlisting process went very well, and communications were strong the whole way through, resulting in what we believe to be a very good appointment and outcome, with the right candidate in place for that long-term position.”
Wayne Eady, MD, Volmary
“I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Sarah for the incredible support she has given me in securing my role at Volmary. I wanted to acknowledge Sarah’s outstanding support from the very beginning, where she showed genuine care and understanding of my situation. She took the time to listen and gave sound advice that went beyond my expectations. I am extremely grateful to Sarah for giving me the opportunity to get my dream job and a career that aligns with my own core values and goals. Due to my new role, I am lucky enough to still be working with Sarah and, to this day, she still follows the same ethos and values in recruiting for our business. Truly grateful!”
