Food and drink recruitment business celebrates expansion

Yourfoodjob.com, the UK’s number one job board for the food and drink industry, celebrates another impressive year of growth by investing further in its regional business presence and by planning for further expansion.

The business has moved into newly redesigned, contemporary offices at Adelphi Mill in Bollington, effectively doubling its office space, and enabling Yourfoodjob.com to meet ambitious growth targets over the next couple of years.

Trading for 7 years, Yourfoodjob.com has achieved a significant 23% year on year increase in turnover (30 September 2015, year end). The ambition is to develop a multi-million pound operation within the next 2 years.

Yourfoodjob.com is the market leader of the online job board market with over 2,000 unique jobs posted on the site each month.

The newly expanded office space allows for team expansion comfortably. Currently employing 12 people, the business is now looking to recruit an additional five commercial sales professionals to support its bold financial ambitions.

Yourfoodjob.com Director, Michelle Lilley explains: “Our digital resourcing solutions are used by many of the leading food brands and manufacturing businesses in the UK and internationally including Pepsico, Bakkavor, Greencore, Moy Park, Thorntons, Hovis, Burton’s Biscuits and Mars and many more. We support them in identifying top food industry talent and reducing both the time and cost in hiring senior professionals. We have saved one food sector client over £150,000 in recruitment agency fees. And they are not alone in this level of saving.

“These solutions, combined with our continued commitment to dedicated and committed service provision have enabled us to become the leading food-specific job board in the country, with 75% of our clients offering us repeat business.

“The last two years have seen demand for our offer increasing dramatically and we have grown the number of clients we work with. This has resulted in team growth, and we have recruited high calibre commercial managers to facilitate the expansion. The next three-year strategy is focused on new service offers and exponential growth, which will be greatly supported by our newly enlarged office space.”

To celebrate the office relocation, Yourfoodjob.com has a range of special offers available to clients. For more information go to www.yourfoodjob.com or contact Michelle Lilley on (0) 44 1625 502947 or email michellel@yourfoodjob.com
