Northern Foods:


Senior Team Assessment

7days was selected by Northern Foods, a major UK based food manufacturer following the appointment of a new CEO and Group HR Director. Northern Foods are embarking on a programme of structural change intended to achieve a dramatic and speedy improvement in business performance. 7days have been asked to design and deliver a rigorous assessment (calibration) of individual members of the senior management team. This will encompass the ‘top 50’ across the company.

"7days delivered this project to extremely tight deadlines, and in a way which was sensitive to the wider structural changes going on in the business. Our senior managers have valued the assessment process, and as a business we have learnt a lot from the 7days team. They have provided very focused insights into our talent-related challenges, and pragmatic advice about how to respond to them. Most importantly, they’ve gone out of their way to ensure that we are left with the tools and know how to take this work forward ourselves. I’m confident that we will continue to see the benefits of their contribution for some considerable time."
Harry Dunlevy, Group HR Director, Northern Foods
