Welcome to Mood Group

Mood Group is a global specialist executive search and recruitment partner to the packaging and print value chain.

We support organisations across packaging, printing, converting, labels, cartons, flexible packaging, metal packaging and associated technologies to attract and appoint high-impact talent, from supervisory and middle management roles through to senior leadership and board-level appointments.

A core part of our work focuses on commercial and sales leadership, supporting businesses to strengthen their revenue capability and customer relationships in highly competitive and technical markets.

Our clients partner with us because we combine deep sector knowledge with a practical understanding of how operations, commercial performance and leadership capability connect on the factory floor, across regional structures and at executive level.

Whether you are strengthening a site leadership team, building regional management capability, expanding your sales organisation or appointing a new C-suite leader, Mood Group provides a tailored recruitment solution aligned to your business objectives, timelines and hiring model.

Sales and commercial leadership specialists

Mood Group has a strong and established track record in the recruitment of sales, commercial and business development leaders across the packaging and print sectors.

We regularly support clients with appointments including:

• Sales Directors and Regional Sales Directors
• Commercial Directors and Chief Commercial Officers
• Head of Sales and Business Development Directors
• Key Account and Strategic Account leaders
• Senior sales professionals operating across complex, technical and multi-site environments

We understand the differences between transactional sales, strategic account management and long-cycle, solution-led selling common within packaging, print and capital equipment markets. This allows us to identify commercially credible leaders who can drive growth, protect margin and build long-term customer partnerships.

Flexible search models to suit your business

Mood Group delivers assignments on both a retained and contingency basis.

We recognise that different roles, organisational priorities and market conditions require different approaches. Our consultants work closely with each client to recommend the most effective model for each assignment, ensuring speed, access to the right talent and a high-quality candidate experience.

• Retained search is typically used for senior, confidential or business-critical leadership and commercial appointments where structured market mapping, competitor intelligence and targeted engagement are required.
• Contingency recruitment is well suited to operational, functional and site-based roles, as well as sales and commercial hires where rapid access to proven sector talent and an agile delivery model are key.

In both cases, our focus remains the same: delivering candidates who can make a measurable and lasting impact.

Deep sector expertise across packaging and print

Mood Group has an established track record of supporting organisations throughout the global packaging and print sectors. We understand the technical, operational and commercial realities that shape hiring decisions, from production and engineering through to supply chain, quality, sales leadership, commercial strategy and general management.

Our sector specialism enables us to identify talent that not only meets the technical and commercial brief, but also aligns with your culture, leadership expectations and growth strategy.

A truly international search partner

Since 2010, Mood Group has successfully delivered assignments across mature and emerging markets, with a strong focus on the Middle East, Africa, Southern Europe and the Far East.

We have invested heavily in building a robust international talent network and market intelligence capability, allowing our clients to access experienced operational and commercial leaders with genuine regional insight and sector credibility.

Our long-term commitment to these regions reflects our belief in their growth potential and our role in supporting the future of the global packaging and print industries.

From site leadership and sales teams to the boardroom
