Clear Edge operates with two main industry specialisms: Betting and Gaming and FMCG/Consumer. Clear Edge Betting & Gaming works as an executive search selection business in the sportsbook, lottery, poker and virtual markets.
Education and Early Career
A graduate in Business Studies from Leeds Metropolitan University [now Leeds Beckett University], Batty’s managerial career started with Rilwood Associates. Joining as a consultant in 2005, he quickly progressed within the company to head up the FMCG sales recruitment team the following year.
Under Batty’s leadership, the team expanded from sales into new areas such as production, engineering, technical, finance and marketing. The FMCG function went on to become Rilwood’s leading division and built an enviable reputation in the marketplace.
Building Clear Edge
Batty left Rilwood in 2011 to pursue his own business venture: the establishment of Clear Edge Search and Selection. The business operates in recruitment in three functional divisions, namely sales and marketing; operations, technical and supply chain; and retail, with sector specialisms in food, drink, non-food FMCG, and consumer durables.
The next major development milestone of the business, which saw its betting and gaming arm founded, came in 2017. Batty is jointly responsible for both divisions.
