Furza unveils two new divisions and senior hire
A Greater Manchester sales recruitment and training specialist has expanded its services with the launch of two new divisions targeting fast-growing businesses.
Salford-headquartered Furza has introduced Furza Talent and Furza Enable, following a triple-digit increase in revenue during 2025.
Furza Talent will provide executive search services for mid-to-senior revenue and go-to-market professionals, while Furza Enable will deliver outsourced management, training and development for in-house junior sales teams.
The business, which is based at Bruntwood’s Riverside complex and works with clients across sectors including technology, legal, pharmaceuticals, publishing and manufacturing, has also appointed Emily Bates as business development director to lead the expansion.
She joins from recruitment vendor management platform Hiring Hub and previously held roles at Pareto and Venturi.
Emily said: “Our new specialist divisions are a natural progression for Furza and I’m extremely excited about these new ventures.
“The business has grown rapidly over the past couple of years.
“With Furza Talent and Furza Enable, we now operate as a full-service, go-to-market recruitment and training partner, working across the whole commercial function.
“Our clients have told us they want to work with experts who know the market, can identify successful talent and reduce time to hire.
“We have spent years building high-performing SDR functions for fast-growing tech firms, and we will bring that same rigour and commercial insight to these new divisions.”
Furza chief executive Mark Rothwell, chief executive of Furza, which also has a London office, added: “The launch of these new divisions, together with Emily’s appointment, will enhance our ability to support companies to build, scale further and strengthen their go-to-market capability.
“Emily brings extensive sector knowledge and experience from her previous roles and has a strong track record in sales and business development in the recruitment and professional services sectors.
“She has built her career working with technology businesses and PE-backed, high-growth organisations, consistently delivering revenue gains and forging long-term client partnerships built on trust and results.
“She has a strategic mindset and takes a hands-on approach, combining commercial acumen with a genuine flair for relationship building and a natural ability to understand what clients need and translate that into tailored solutions that deliver real value.
“Her energy, drive and people-first approach make her an ideal fit for Furza and a fantastic addition to the team as we enter the next phase of our journey.”
