Job Details

As an established category leader, the business we represent has shown impressive growth over recent years and performed exceptionally well despite various economic and industry challenges.

Bucking the trend versus the competition, they have delivered double-digit growth and gained further market share whilst the competition has struggled.

Acquisitive, they will continue to grow for the foreseeable future and therefore offer numerous career advancement opportunities for those who perform well.

With major influence established across the grocery retail sector, the business is looking to further strengthen its position in the food service market, and therefore requires an experienced individual with knowledge of this sector to drive a major focus on growth over the next 3 years.

This role presents a great opportunity for somebody to join an ambitious business and advance their own career at a similar pace to that of your employer.

With a serious focus on gaining further wins in the food service market, and within a business that will ensure this gets the support and focus required, ‘the right candidate’ should go on to deliver impressive results.

Operating within chilled and frozen, predominantly private label ranges, those who succeed here are often those from fast-paced private label manufacturing backgrounds and candidates with this experience will be viewed favourably.

It is important that applicants are able to demonstrate knowledge of the food service sector, with experience of working with leading food service wholesalers being preferred, but no essential.

So if you are looking for an opportunity to really prove your ability in an environment that will reward your efforts along the way, we are keen to discuss further with you.

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.
