Why find your next role through Williams Recruitment?
In the food industry, "standard" isn't good enough. You need an environment that matches your technical skill and your ambition. We partner with businesses that value operational excellence, food safety, and innovation.
Direct Access: Many of our roles, especially at the Executive level, are exclusive to Williams Recruitment and never reach the public job boards.
Industry Expertise: We won't waste your time with roles that don't fit. We understand the nuances of BRCGS, high-care environments, and FMCG supply chains.
Transparent Process: We provide honest feedback, clear timelines, and deep insights into the culture of our client sites.

Your core purpose is to lead your team of supervisors and operatives to meet and exceed production targets, measured in KGs and packs per hour.
But this is a role of two halves: it's not just about pace; it's about standards. You will be the champion for quality, food safety, and people safety on your shift, ensuring every product that leaves your area is fully compliant with specifications and food safety regulations.

I am looking for a Commercial Advisor to help a client navigate a critical listing decision. This isn’t a standard recruitment search for a full-time role, it is a targeted request for specific, high-level expertise. My client is a food innovator with a strong product proposition. To land the right deal, they need someone who intimately understands the commercial machinery inside Brakes or Sysco GB.

You’re not here to punch the clock—you’re here to make things happen. You’ve got a background in the food industry, a knack for Just-In-Time (JIT) operations, and an independent streak that helps you stay sharp and dynamic in a fast-paced environment. You thrive on change, love a challenge, and bring a no-nonsense approach that earns you respect and gets results.
The business has exciting plans, so this role may evolve into an Operations/Factory Manager position.
