Securing a new job in the fvood industry is rarely straightforward. Strutting into an interview with a food manufacturer and appearing 10 minutes later with a new contract is a world away from reality – particularly in today’s competitive jobs market.
Here we interview Russell Moore. Managing Director of Food Industry Recruitment Company R&L Executive Network Ltd who has a specialist knowledge of recruiting in the food sector.
