Since 1990 we have been delivering excellent recruitment solutions in the changing world of food and drink. We have recruitment specialists covering all disciplines and sectors, providing specialist knowledge and a bespoke service for you.

“Our team is passionate about recruitment, bringingstrategic focus, significant resource, expertise and

experience to the food and drink market. It providesexcellent resourcing solutions that make a real

difference to its clients.” Stephen Jones, Founder

Working in long term partnership with many leading manufacturers, retailers and foodservice organisations, we have developed an unrivalled reputation for industry knowledge, recruitment skill, credibility and delivery.

Focus is a founding member of IFR-A, with international food recruitment partners in Holland, France, Denmark, Germany and Poland, giving unrivalled levels of networking and experience of the food recruitment market across Europe.

Focus manage a broad range of assignments across all functions found in the food industry - in retail, manufacturing and the foodservice sectors. Specialisms include Manufacturing, Technical, Engineering and Product Development positions, through to Sales, Marketing, HR, Supply Chain and Purchasing at all management levels.

We have successfully built teams across branded and private label manufacturers, leading supermarket chains and well known foodservice organisations. We are committed to delivering a highquality service with the same rigour and insightfulness to any level of role.

We are here to assist the existing and future talent for the foodand drink industry and take our responsibility incredibly seriously in finding candidates and clients who are best suited for each other.

We offer the delivery of immediate and highly effective interim management solutions. Speed of action does not dilute our non-negotiable focus to bring the best professional interim solutions to your business challenge.

The same level of commitment and support is offered to both clients and interim managers to deliver the criticalimpact that is required. We have delivered interim solutions across several continents and have unrivalled numbers of interim candidates available, operating across all functions, management levels and several specialist disciplines.

This is a business sector that requires a very strong network of candidates who are highly respected in the industry fortheir achievement and success. And that is why Focus interims are regularly re-hired on repeat contracts.

“Our open invoicing process gives total transparency to boththe client and interim and allows for a positive open dialogueabout cost, value and effectiveness.”

Focus offers a bespoke Search and Selection recruitment service for the food and drink sector, managing assignments at Operating Board, Senior Executive Levels and specialist roles covering Managing Director, General Management, Technical, Product Development, HR, Commercial and Supply Chain functions.

We have over 30 years experience of recruiting within FMCG, food manufacturing (branded and private label), retail and foodservice sectors, and can therefore take advantage of our extensive market knowledge and network.

As well as PLC and SME organisations, we have relationships established with Private Equity and Venture Capital businesses that have a need for the very best senior executives the industry has to offer.

“We pride ourselves on the strategic partnerships we have built with key players within food manufacturing, retail and foodservice.”

We are an Employee Owned company

One of our points of difference over other food industry recruitment companies is that we are an Employee Owned business, this means that every single employee owns the company and has a voice in how the company is run.

The team ethos and strategic focus of the business gives real challenge and opportunity for career development in an autonomous, professional environment. Our client approach is to work in long-term strategic partnerships, and therefore genuinely the careers that we offer are very different from the norm in recruitment.

Our team consists of talented, enthusiastic and passionate individuals who are not only committed to their career but enjoy what they do. Our values are at the core of everything we do with the underlying belief that good people are worth keeping and nurturing. 70% of our team have been here for more than five years with half of these being here longer than ten years – a statistic we are proud of especially in the recruitment industry.
