Smiths News targets £10m recycling growth with Novo Executive Search and Selection
Smiths News, a major UK newspaper and magazine wholesaler, faced the challenge of scaling its promising recycling division into a £10m profit stream as part of its transformation strategy. To accelerate this growth, they required a strategic Managing Director with deep sector expertise and full P&L accountability. They partnered with Novo Executive Search and Selection to conduct an executive search for this critical appointment.
Novo implemented a targeted search to identify a senior leader with a proven track record in waste management, commercial strategy, and scaling operations. The appointed Managing Director quickly began reshaping the division's strategic roadmap, refining propositions, and examining partnership opportunities. The result was stronger internal alignment, clearer metrics, and a leadership foundation projected to deliver £10m in revenue within three to five years.
