THE COMPANY

Few opportunities come along to ‘jump on a well-invested business growth career train’ as this one. Our client has achieved significant growth across mainland Europe and the UK, with added-value, premium-quality bakery category products which are proving a huge success with both the trade and the consumer.

Privately owned, they have already built two new state-of-the-art manufacturing plants and have a strong strategic vision for further growth including the UK market, where they are planning substantial investment to both accelerate sales growth and build a brand new production facility – exciting times ahead!

Their premium-branded and own-label products are predominantly organic and go through a unique production process which gives them a real point of difference, delivering high quality visibility and consumer taste appeal.

•   Join a €100m highly successful and well-invested, European food business.

•   Be the first commercial team member to join the new dynamic Commercial Director.

•   Help shape and action the UK market business growth.

•   Represent a very high quality food brand with substantial consumer appeal.

•   Be part of a new team that will grow as the UK business builds a c£20m UK-based new manufacturing plant.

•   Receive first class training, guidance and support from the CD, which will lead you to step up and take full customer P&L management with a small selection of major retail accounts. 

 So a very special one-off career development opportunity… not to be missed!
