Leadership recruitment for the print, packaging & signage sectors

Hiring at senior level is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. The right leader can transform your business, bringing clarity, stability, and direction. The wrong one? That can cost you time, morale, and momentum you can’t afford to lose.

If you're struggling to attract or retain top talent, you’re not alone. You're probably not the problem, more than likely, the process is.

At M-TWO, we don’t do ‘quick wins’ at exec level. We do considered, confidential, and strategic search. It’s tailored to the specific leadership challenges of the print, packaging and signage industries.

This isn’t contingent recruitment dressed up. It’s a partnership, built on insight and delivery.

Built Around You

We partner with owners, boards and leadership teams to find the people who will genuinely move the needle. Whether you need a Managing Director to take the reins, a Commercial Director to drive growth, or an Ops lead who can tighten everything up.

We invest time to understand what you need, not just what’s on paper.

No spray and pray. No sifting through 15 irrelevant CVs. Just a smart, structured approach to hiring people who fit your world and your ambition.

What You Can Expect

A strategic partnership – not just a transactional service

We immerse ourselves in your business; How it runs, what’s working, and where it needs support. We act as an extension of your team, advising, challenging and guiding as we go.

You’ll come away with clarity. Not just about the hire, but about the role itself.

Confidential, targeted headhunting – not just a tap on the shoulder

The leaders you need are often in a role already. We go out and find them, discreetly and professionally. No job ads, no guesswork, and no hoping the right person just happens to be looking. This is about quality engagement, not volume.

A deep understanding of your challenges – and how the right leader can solve them

We take the time to get under the surface of your business. Whether you’re in growth, turnaround, or transition, we tailor the search to fit the bigger picture. That means stronger alignment and a hire that actually lasts.

Clarity and control – full transparency throughout

No chasing updates. No wondering what’s going on behind the scenes. You’ll get honest feedback, regular insight, and complete visibility at every step. That’s our job to keep things moving and keep you informed.

Support beyond the hire – through onboarding, integration, and beyond

Once the offer’s signed, we don’t disappear. We support both you and your new hire through resignation, onboarding, and those all-important first few months. It’s about making sure the decision pays off, for everyone.

A Smarter Investment

When you're hiring someone who will help shape the future of your business, you need more than just a stack of CVs, you need certainty. That’s why we work on a retained basis for executive search.

This isn’t just a different pricing model. It’s a different level of service, depth, and delivery.

Retained search allows us to commit time, resource, and focus to getting it right because that’s what it takes to attract and secure top-tier leadership. We’re not scrambling to get candidates in first. We’re researching, analysing, engaging, and representing your business with the professionalism it deserves.

Think of it like a legal matter. If the stakes were high, you wouldn’t hire a solicitor based on who could get back to you the fastest or pay them only if you win. You’d pay for experience, strategy, and someone who can represent your interests properly. The same principle applies here.

You're asking us to go into the market on your behalf—to approach senior individuals, tell your story with credibility, and bring back the right fit. That takes research, insight, and care.
