Marketing Case Study: Milestone Projects & Vanilla Recruitment
Milestone Projects is a forward-thinking company revolutionising the traditionally corporate world of warehouse and supply chain automation. Based in Market Harborough with working sites across the UK, Milestone specialises in turnkey automation implementation and engineering strategies for a diverse range of industries, including food, fast-moving consumer goods and technology. The company employs a small but highly skilled team across sales, marketing, realisation, finance, HR and engineering.
With a people-first ethos, Milestone recognises that its success is rooted in its team. As COO Tahnee Treadwell explains, “We know that our success and culture are built on having the right people in the right roles. That focus means we’re not just hiring – we’re investing in our team’s growth, providing the support, tools, and environment they need to truly thrive.”
Challenges
Milestone Projects, an innovative leader in warehouse and supply chain automation, faced specific recruitment challenges:
-
- Balancing experience and cultural fit within tight time frames due to the reactive nature of their business.
- A lack of satisfaction with previous recruitment agencies, which required significant time investment and offered limited support in managing the overall hiring process.
