Whilst much of this growth has been achieved organically, the business remains acquisitive and keen to secure additional brands to further compliment its focus on healthy, on-trend food categories.
As a result of planned succession planning for 2017, the business is looking to recruit a new Senior Business Manager to take full accountability for their £multi-million, number one grocery customer account.

Indeed, the company will be looking to identify a new National Account Controller (Grocery) to manage its grocery team within the next 12 – 18 months, and this position presents the ideal opportunity to progress your career swiftly if you deliver good results.
The successful candidate will manage strategically important customer accounts across grocery channels within their current role, and demonstrate a record of sales growth whilst managing multiple brands and categories.
You will have natural entrepreneurial flair and and strong commercial ability, and be keen to lead a £multi-million branded customer account that impacts on consumers lives daily.
Company
For over a decade now, Food Industry Associates Ltd have proven to be a recruiter of choice for ambitious SME food and beverage manufacturers across the UK. We don't recruit for the big corporates by choice. Instead, we choose to work with companies with personality, entrepreneurial flare (not process), looking to disrupt the market with cutting edge innovation to provide consumers with better, healthier choices.
Are you an early stage start-up struggling to find the right solution to help you gain your fist listings in a specific customer channel before you can raise the budget to employ somebody on a permanent basis? Maybe you know you need to source a commercial leader but aren't 100% clear in what format, or how to adequately incentivise somebody from a much larger business to join your mission? Come speak to us.
If you're a more established business looking to bring fresh talent on board to drive ambitious sales targets, source a creative innovator to help you drive in to new extended categories, or looking to strengthen in marketing / category terms, again, come speak to us.
We've a proven record in recruiting talent for an array of businesses, helping them source commercial talent to help them achieve their goals. From early stage sales talent through to equity-incentivised leadership roles, we've proven time and time again to find the right people for our clients at the first attempt.
How are we different to most of our competitors? Unlike most, we don't have as diverse a portfolio of clients we work with. However all those we do work with continuously come back to us whenever they next have another need. In our opinion successful recruitment is achieved when two businesses truly 'partner' and collaborate together. In our opinion the better we know you, the better we understand all the extra elements aside from simple skillset and experience to ensure the right 'fit' is identified at the first attempt. In our opinion, this is recruitment, done properly.
