de Belder Associates Ltd
Executive Search and Selection for the Foundry Industry
Knowledge and experience of the foundry industry is an essential element for an Executive Search and Selection company who provide a service to the industry.

Derek and Philip de Belder formed de Belder Associates Ltd over two years ago. Their experience has included many years of executive recruitment to foundry and engineering companies within the United Kingdom and to overseas companies. de Belder Associates Ltd has a proven track record of success and is regarded as a company offering expertise in the recruitment of middle and senior managerial foundry appointments.
A key aspect to the success of the company has been the ability to provide a high level of confidentiality with clients and candidates. de Belder Associates Ltd have recently received enquires from clients and candidates from the U.S.A, Germany, India and China. One of latest assignments is from a client company based in South Africa and candidates are currently being considered for this appointment.
No assignment is undertaken unless there has been a detailed consultation and visit with the clients after which a full appointment reports is prepared and presented.
Clients receive detailed candidate reports only after each candidate has been interviewed and appraised for the particular appointment.
Most appointments are advertised in appropriate media and when required, a highly confidential Search programme is performed to find suitable candidates.
“Potential clients can be assured of the highest level of confidential which is an essential and critical factor when considering which company to help them with their senior management recruitment requirements”
“Candidates from the UK and overseas from technical, sales and managerial positions are now approaching us for help and assistance with their career option.”
“We ensure our service maintains quality rather than quantity which sometimes can be lost with other larger recruitment companies”
“Our company aims to be the leading recruitment specialist for the UK foundry industry and to explore new opportunities to assist companies in their personnel requirements overseas”
