SUCCESS STORIES

  • High profile, niche recruitment on key infrastructure project

    Our client is responsible for design and delivery of a high-profile 90km stretch of rail in the West Midlands. Locally, a huge percentage of environmental talent has been absorbed by the wider project, meaning an already shallow talent pool is very sparsely populated. Eden Brown was approached to not only fulfill vacant roles, but also the facilitate transitioning from a contractor-based environmental specialist workforce to one that is directly-employed, in order to improve cost and control and delivery.

  • Sourced critical decarbonisation specialist ahead of net zero 2030

    Our client looks after almost 4.5 million homes across England. Providing a truly essential service, many of these homes are aspirational in terms of design, placemaking and sustainability. However, they are older stock and under-invested following years of budgetary squeezes – but they are committed to hitting the Net Zero target of 2050. Their current housing stock must become ‘green’, and attain an EPC ‘C’ rating by 2035. This is the same story for many providers across the UK and so recruiting talent in decarbonisation is extremely challenging.
