JSL Solutions

JSL Solutions is a search consultancy for the automotive and industrial aftermarket, based in London. It handles senior sales, marketing, technical, supply chain and executive appointments for manufacturers, distributors and suppliers in the UK and Ireland, and says it also supports businesses in wider European markets.

Its sectors are the automotive and commercial vehicle aftermarket, industrial tools, equipment and MRO, and industrial power, battery and technical solutions. In industrial tools and MRO, the roles it typically appoints include sales director, commercial director, national sales manager, key account director and managing director.

The company is owner-led and says every assignment is managed directly by its leaders. Its method combines market mapping, competitor analysis, salary benchmarking and targeted search. It says over 88 per cent of its placements come through its industry network rather than advertising alone, and that its team has more than 60 years of combined industry experience. Joanne Lupton is founder and director, and Stewart Lupton is managing director.
