More than just circulating CV's
De Lacy Executive is the executive search and recruitment consultancy specialising in Agrifood and Agribusiness in the UK and internationally.
The company specialism extends across agriculture, primary food, horticulture, fruit and fresh produce.
Within this grouping recruitment is undertaken for many disciplines from sustainability, supply chain and assur-ance in addition to account management, commercial, technical, production and marketing.
Clients and candidates have been served throughout the UK and Ireland, Europe and other international markets for over 11 years.
John Davies, director of De Lacy Executive explains "We were all employed in the agribusiness sector in senior com-mercial, technical and administrative careers before creating De Lacy Executive in 2000 - we know it well, the issues, the culture, the language, the companies and the people within it."
Candidates at all levels from management trainees to managing directors are assisted with career opportunities and guidance.

For example a selection of clients that have engaged De Lacy Executive have included McDonald's Restaurants, AB Sustain (a subsidiary of ABF), Vitacress, Langmead Farms, Arla, Milk-link, DairyCo, HGCA, Morning Foods, National Milk Laboratories, Bernard Matthews, Faccenda, Sunrise Poultry, P.D. Hook, Norfolk Traditional Poultry, BQP and Alec Jarrett Meat Ltd.
THE FRANK APPROACH
A hallmark of the service is a frank approach with clients and candidates. "We do not inundate clients with inap-propriate CVs. Succinct interview reports are prepared on all appropriate candi-dates with the 'pros and cons' of their candidacy plus candidate feedback after interviews.
"We will manage the negotiation phase and continue to oversee and manage the process to the resignation and ultimately to the first day of employment" states Davies who founded the consultancy in 2000.
"We are a consultancy not an agency - we do not simply circulate CVs - we add value through sourcing the very best candidates available and advise on the selec-tion of candidates.
"It is an oddity in today's increasing unemployment in the general economy that Agribusiness continues to have a shortage of good people to fill its vacancies.
"This arises from a generation of poor returns which encouraged potential entrants to seek careers elsewhere. A primary responsibility to our clients is to use our extensive contacts and unique knowledge of this market coupled with the latest means of communication to swell the pool of talent from which to select.
"In this regard we recognise the importance of acting as ambassadors for our clients and we operate with integrity
