Business Introduction

Working exclusively in partnership with Seymour John, our client is a large European family business supplying food products into the retail and foodservice sectors with sales growing at an exhilarating pace in the UK due to excellent leadership, teamwork and product offering.

Family ownership continues to provide the perfect platform for healthy long-term decision-making around business development opportunities and investments. They have created a purpose-built UK plant which has recently benefited from a substantial new investment in highly automated lines.

People Culture

Not too many years ago the business could have been seen by some as a rather traditional business with traditional attitudes. No longer! The business has an extremely forward-thinking leadership and culture which cascades throughout the business. This is particularly true in the UK which has modernised its people culture and practices at lightning speed, the reward being some exciting business wins and exciting growth.

The current culture could be described using words like: ambitious, go-getting, responsive, forward-thinking, fast-paced, resilient. They have a vision, they celebrate initiative and they are extremely supportive of each other at an interpersonal level.

They want to inspire people, stimulating personal development and growth. They are a modern family business, always looking to the future, strengthened by the depth of their experience.

The HR community has evolved to deliver this experience with the creation of an Academy, Leadership training and an international mobility programme for those who want to remove all limits to their progress.
