Cadbury Trebor Bassett
Business Development Manager

The Business

Cadbury Trebor Basset is the confectionary arm of Cadbury Schweppes Plc. The brand name itself epitomizes for many consumers the confectionary market as a whole. As a brand Cadbury Trebor Basset is a major force in the international confectionary market.

The Role

The company were looking for a Business Development Manager to join their team looking after and developing the leisure outlets for the business. They required somebody who was very dynamic and motivated, they needed to come from a branded background and be of graduate (or equivalent) calibre. They were looking for somebody who could maintain their current accounts as well as develop new leads and who could think in a very strategic way

The Solution

The consultant was working on this position due to a previous relationship that had been built up with the business. She was looking to fulfil a role which demanded knowledge of corporate and branded environments which is not always the case in this particular work area. This meant that very thorough initial interviews had to be conducted to gain an idea of the skill set of candidates.
From this, a shortlist was produced which was again evaluated and further interviews were held before a definitive shortlist was presented to the business.

The process was two stages with the business, with one candidate going back for a second interview and being offered from this.
