Field of Expertise.

From fresh produce and flowers, to livestock, fish and shellfish, growing is the lifeblood of the food and consumer goods sector. But with ongoing pressure to increase crop yields and to decrease our environmental impact, the way we grow food is changing. For example, salmon farming is coming in-land and horticulture is going vertical. Within our Grow division, we understand the changing nature of the landscape. From agronomists to aquacultural technicians and livestock managers, our People can help.

Development is critical to any business in the fast-paced world of food and consumer goods. Whether it’s new or existing product development, evolving processes or packaging, achieving the right blend of experience and fresh ideas is key. Our Develop division focuses on innovative roles which manage how a product tastes, looks, smells or functions - and how recipes are scaled up and products safely packaged. From packaging technologists to process managers and product development directors, our People can help.

Good, skilled people are at the heart of any successful manufacturing operation. Investing in the right people will ensure a safe and hygienic environment where manufacturing efficiencies are realised, and customer fulfilment demands are met. Through our Make division, we find people with the precise blend of experience required for our clients’ manufacturing roles. From health & safety officers to multi-skilled engineers and factory managers, our People can help.

Regulatory, food safety and quality assurance teams are the industry’s gatekeepers, making sure nothing leaves without meeting the required standard. They fulfil an important role in safeguarding product integrity and protecting the reputation of a brand, by ensuring that product is safe, authentic and legal. Within our Assure division, we understand the very specific skillsets required for these vitally important roles. From quality assurance technologists, technical managers and food safety managers to heads of regulatory affairs, our People can help.

People working in sales, marketing and commercial roles have a crucial part to play in scaling and growing organisations. They are also the face of the company to the outside world. In our Sell division, we know that whilst the same core skills are required, it’s imperative to match a candidate’s individual personality to a company culture in which they’ll thrive. From sales executives to brand marketing managers and commercial directors, our People can help.

Purchasing, warehousing and logistics is an area that never stands still, is ever-evolving and - right now - is changing rapidly. Robotics is developing fast whilst blockchain and cloud-based systems are creating greater transparency and efficiency. In our Supply division, we’re seeing a variety of highly innovative, high quality and ground-breaking positions coming on stream to meet the sector’s growing needs. From warehouse supervisors and transport managers to supply chain directors, our People can help.

Doing business sustainably and responsibly is no longer a ‘niceto- have’; it’s a ‘must-have’. Many forward-thinking businesses already recognise that people and planet is inextricably linked to profit. The growing importance of environmental and social sustainability will only lead to more businesses implementing circular and sustainable practices. Our Sustain division is on top of the issues to ensure we find the right people for the job. From environmental managers to heads of sustainability and CSR directors, our People can help.
