Ts Grale

Ts Grale is an executive search and interim management firm that works only in UK manufacturing and the built environment. It places managing directors, operations and manufacturing directors, CFOs and interim turnaround leaders. Its sectors are industrial manufacturing, the built environment and consumer manufacturing, including engineering components, machinery, metals, chemicals, automotive, energy, aerospace and defence, and construction materials.

The firm was founded in April 2016 and is based in Leeds. It works with clients ranging from global PLCs to SMEs. It reports twenty-five years in executive search and interim management for UK manufacturing, a 96% right-first-time placement rate and over 80% repeat business.

Executive search covers permanent senior leaders, while interim placements bring in a senior leader for a defined period to stabilise, transform or turn around part of a business. Ts Grale says it shapes the brief with the client, assesses behaviour under pressure rather than relying on the CV alone, and that the full partnership undertakes or directly supports each assignment.
