My client is a highly successful major food business with its UK operating division based in Gloucestershire. They produce a range of both branded and retailer brand high-quality foods which are sold through the leading UK grocery retail stores and leading restaurant and hotel groups.

They have a respected and admired heritage founded on product quality, investment and successfully growing their business by achieving considerable consumer appreciation through taste and adding value to various meal occasions.

Either way, to be successful in this role your functional experience should include sales, marketing, supply chain and finance teams.

You are motivated about all things ‘people’, keen to support team members to help develop their on-the-job performance and lay down open, transparent, modern HR practices to help nurture and drive a positive, well-supported and modern business culture.
