Case Study

Coffee · Europe

Illy acquired their distribution rights for the UK market with a view to building a high performing team and business unit. This shift to a wholly owned RTM coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic, making attracting, onboarding and engaging talent particularly challenging during a significant period of change.

Key Projects

Cesium Group was engaged initially to hire an Interim UK MD to help manage the transition period. Subsequently we have hired several other key senior leadership team members and delivered a multi-module Leadership Development Programme for the board and second line of management.
