Overview
We accepted the challenge to partner with the INEOS in-house talent function and launch their first vehicle.
Bond took on the challenge to prepare go-to market teams to launch in 26 markets simultaneously! Embedding into the existing INEOS in-house talent team to provide ecosystem expertise and additional firepower. It was a proud moment when the first Grenadier recently rolled off the assembly line.
It’s not every day you get the chance to be fully embedded with a brand-new automotive OEM, helping to create an “uncompromising” 4×4 off-roader; backed by one of the largest organisations in the world, INEOS.
The project is the brainchild of INEOS Chairman, Jim Ratcliffe, who was a fan of the original Land Rover Defender. When it ceased production, he saw a gap in the market for an uncompromising off-roader that stood for adventure and active driving, but retained its capability to be a work and utility machine. The Grenadier was born…

Testimonial
“I was always sceptical about using embedded talent services when you have an established Recruitment team, thinking there could be a cultural clash or lack of control. Bond have really proven us wrong!
Bond Talent Partners work alongside our in-house strong, established recruitment team; they are part of us, fully immersed in our culture and brand. Bond supports our team with building pipelines, headhunting key and complex positions and they extend our network of contacts, including in those markets we are new in.
As a growing organization we have a big focus on process establishment and employer branding, so having another pair of eyes (and brains!) is helping us to ensure we keep objective and aligned with the reality of the market. Also, we are growing so fast, when we have a recruiter down, Rob and his team do their usual magic to ensure our operations don’t suffer!”
