“New plant: 40 hires planned by the summer.”
The opener
It starts from the topic, never from the signal: no “I saw that you…”.
The conversation
Hi Mark, Congratulations on opening your new plant. Where are you with hiring the teams?
Thanks! We're getting there, but setters and maintenance technicians are tough to find.
That's the tightest profile right now. We only recruit industrial technicians, often people currently in a role elsewhere. How many do you need before opening?
Four or five. Worth a conversation.
How about Thursday at 10 am, or the same time the following week, to go through it? The invite will go to mark.davies@daviesplastics.co.uk, is that right?
Let's go for Thursday at 10 am. Yes, that's the right address.

Alveo Services, an industrial maintenance firm in Sheffield (40 staff), announces in the regional press a funding round to double its headcount.
Congratulations on Alveo Services’ funding round. Doubling the team in two years means a lot of managers to bring on board, and cover questions you did not have at 40. Where are you on that?
