Kae: marketing intelligence launches new website
London-based strategic marketing consultancy kae: marketing intelligence has announced the launch of its new corporate website.
Neill Ovenden, NDO's Managing Director, said: "Due to my own experiences in the instrumentation and engineering fields, I knew there was a need in the market for business development and recruitment consultants that could call upon genuine industry experience to ensure the quality and understanding of their services".
In just six months, NDO Consultants has been successful in placing technical sales and service engineers with numerous companies, several of which had been looking for four or more months with other agencies, prior to NDO taking over the search.
"Our knowledge and backgrounds allowed us to discover candidates with the perfect mix of technical and commercial experience, even though their CVs may not have been the obvious starting point," said Ovenden.

"We view candidate profiles differently to other recruitment agencies and I wouldn't recommend anyone unless I would be prepared to employ them if I were in the client's position".
The success has also been seen in an extensive training schedule, with a successful Commercial and Contract Awareness Seminar in November 2007; it has continued in 2008 with a fully booked seminar with 44 delegates on Vibration Shaker Testing at the end of January.
"The demand has been so high for places on our second seminar that we have had to set up a repeat date on 10 April 2008, for which we have already had 11 bookings," said Ovenden.
"The demand comes from companies both big and small, so again it shows there is a need for our brand of consultancy".
As for the business development side, NDO has been instrumental in guiding product launches, development, packaging, marketing and sales for several leading instrumentation suppliers and resellers.
Doug Ovenden, NDO Consultants' Commercial Director, commented: "We have seen that within the technical arena, the UK can be proud of its high standard of engineering innovation and development, however some of these technical people need a helping hand when it comes to packaging a product for maximum market penetration.
"There are very few engineers who possess the skills to engage the sales and marketing aspect of business as well as the technology, this is where we have proven ourselves as successful".
The final aspect of NDO Consultants that has been well received is a flexible approach to enquiries.
Doug Ovenden said: "We understand the needs of big and small businesses and we aim to provide a solution that meets both budget and time restrictions.
"We have already completed a range of solutions for a variety of clients, from a simple product analysis report for one client, to a retained service, offering ongoing marketing and sales services to another.
"Whatever the needs we will try and meet the clients' requirements in the most efficient and cost-effective manner".
