We began working with Redwood Bank, a specialist business bank based in Letchworth Garden City and Warrington, in 2025. With their Head of Marketing having joined the business the year prior, they were looking to expand the team underneath her.
Working closely with the hiring team, our recruiters helped tailor the Marketing Manager role to suit business needs.
Established in 2017, Redwood Bank was created by Jonathan Rowland and Gary Wilkinson to build a flexible and personable business bank focused on lending to SMEs. Over the years, they have increased their product offerings, increased their customer base and won numerous awards.
In 2024, they onboarded their Head of Marketing, Michelle Monck. With continued growth plans in place, they needed to bring on marketing talent to execute their strategy. Having partnered with our recruitment consultants in previous searches, Michelle got in touch for support with hiring into her team at Redwood.
Specialist financial services marketing recruiter, Hannah Glazebrook, was briefed on a Marketing Manager role. They were searching for someone who could provide support across all channels and establish the foundations of the function.
The search brought one key challenge – location. The role was based in Hertfordshire with a requirement to be in the office a couple of days a week, limiting the talent pool. Leveraging our expansive marketing network, Hannah was able to promptly deliver a shortlist of candidates who would suit the role and were able to reach the business in Letchworth.
Following the initial search, the hiring team realised that the job description wasn’t right for their current stage of growth. Initially a Senior Manager job, we quickly took the role back out to market, repositioning it at Marketing Manager level and creating a refreshed shortlist. From the outset, the successful candidate stood out.
Throughout the process, we worked closely with the Head of Marketing to refine the brief, advised on market realities around location and flexibility, and kept communication consistent. By adapting quickly to changes and focusing on quality over volume, we were able to progress the process smoothly.
Redwood Bank successfully hired their new Marketing Manager, who made an immediate impact within their first three months, supporting team expansion and strengthening marketing delivery across channels.
I worked with Hannah at 3Search to help hire a Marketing Manager for my team. From the outset, she really understood my requirements and the type of candidate I was looking for. They moved quickly to provide me with high-quality, well-matched candidates, making the process smooth and efficient. I am delighted with the outcome and would happily recommend Hannah and 3Search to any business looking to grow their marketing team.Michelle Monck Head of Marketing
Candidate Thought Count: 1
I had a fantastic experience working with 3Search. I initially worked with Lucy, who kept in regular contact and was always supportive throughout the early stages of my job search. When my focus shifted to a different industry, Hannah became my main contact and did an incredible job of helping me secure a role that was the perfect fit and a great step forward for my career. Hannah was extremely supportive, giving me confidence and sharing useful tips before every interview. Both Hannah and Lucy took the time to really understand what was important to me, ensuring that every opportunity matched my requirements and beyond. Even after I joined my new role, they stayed in touch to check in on how I was getting on, which really shows the care and commitment they have to their candidates. I’ve now been in my new position for six months and couldn’t be happier. 3Search is a fantastic recruitment agency that goes above and beyond to connect marketing professionals with genuine, high-quality opportunities. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for their next career move.Marketing Manager
