Most industries like to think of themselves as being different, perhaps not exactly unique but certainly a little bit special. That's certainly what a lot of our clients in produce think about their sector. Whilst we're sure others might like to challenge that, it's certainly true that the produce industry does offer some uniquely challenging and stimulating career opportunities. Working with natural products, coping with seasonality, the vagaries of the weather and still meeting the needs of a demanding customer base, all make for a dynamic working environment that attracts pro-active, pragmatic people. The challenges are real, but rewarding careers await for those people prepared to take them on.

This is a sector that has seen many changes over the last 20 years. Food production is still the key driver for any farm business but anyone involved in agriculture today also has to recognise their broader remit as part of the wider rural economy. That means embracing issues of sustainability, stewardship and environmental management. Today it's very much agriculture as a business that requires people with both farming know how and sound commercial acumen.

Rural Surveying, Estate Management and Utilities are intrinsically linked to the Food and Agri supply chains where, as a business, we spend a lot of our time. We have always chosen markets where we feel we can add maximum value and credibility. All our markets have a pronounced shortage of candidates, but this shortage is the case in extremis in Rural Professionals. Most of our time in this market is spent networking with high calibre ‘passive’ candidates who may not yet be looking for their next job move. Given the niche nature of the sector, you must partner with a recruiter who understands the day-to-day challenges faced by the companies, employees and candidates who specialise in these areas.What types of job roles do we recruit for?Rural Surveyors - Graduate through to director level.Utilities SurveyorsWayleave OfficersEstate ManagersAgri-business Consultants

The United Kingdom has a thriving garden centre industry with more than 2000 garden centres dedicated to nurturing our gardens. Within this sector, the spectrum of products is vast. Everything from plants and garden accessories to tools, pet supplies, and clothing. Not to mention the roaring trade within garden centre cafes and restaurants, contribute significantly to this vibrant landscape. The evolution of the industry is fascinating. Not only has there been a substantial growth in the amount and range of products and services on offer, but there has also been an improvement in their overall quality. This shift can be shown in how garden centres have risen to become upscale retail destinations and desirable weekend retreats, unlike their previous role as places for sourcing plants and gardening essentials.The ever expanding and diverse nature of this sector is reflected in the variety of career options available.

We are a specialist recruitment business providing permanent and interim recruitment solutions for businesses operating in the food, horticulture, agriculture and garden industry supply chains. Our clients range from 'own label' suppliers to blue chip brands.
MorePeople was founded in 2000 by two passionate foodies with vast experience of working in the industry.
MorePeople delivered the goods on time and in full. A personal feel from the off, MorePeople were keen to visit our site to fully understand our recruitment requirements in advance and present their strategy to us. I cannot recommend their service highly enough, working tirelessly on our behalf and presenting exceptional candidates throughout the process. His positivity and ‘after-sales care’ were second to none
I have worked with The Rural Team at MorePeople for over two years now. They are superb recruitment consultants. They provide an excellent service, ensuring they have a thorough understanding of the company and role, as well as ensuring that they only promote candidates that truly meet the role requirements. The process from start to finish is delivered in a very professional and friendly manner and I look forward to continuing to working alongside MorePeople in the future.
For me and the team at Biobest UK, we really appreciate the down-to-earth approach. Whether that’s general communication or confirming job specifications. We are the specialists in Bugs and IPM, MorePeople are the specialists in People and Jobs! They know their sphere and Sarah has, taken to the time to understand our business, our needs, our ethos, and the candidate’s selection reflects this. This means we can as a business concentrate on what we do best. That’s why we work with Sarah and the team at MorePeople.
MorePeople were excellent in the way they managed the potentially challenging recruitment of our first CEO. They took a high-level brief and turned around a clear role description which we could all recognise. Their communications were timely and focussed making our part of the process as easy as possible. As per the brief the very strong list of candidates was really interesting from a wide and varied range of backgrounds and experience. The interview process and appointment was made very straightforward. I've known the MorePeople team for many years and they never fail to just get it and deliver.
J O Sims Limited have found More People a joy to work with on a number of occasions. Most recently we have worked with Sandra to recruit a Management Accountant and she was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Sandra probed to understand our requirements initially and then provided us with various high-quality candidates to consider. We look forward to one of these candidates joining us in the coming weeks and also to working with Sandra and the impressive More People team again in the future
“I’ve now twice used MorePeople to recruit a Non-Executive Director for the Camgrain board. On both occasions MorePeople were able to source high quality candidates who fitted not only the job specification but also the culture of our business and on both occasions, we have made successful appointments from within their talent pool. I find MorePeople to be professional, thorough, and easy to work with and would recommend their recruitment services to anyone in the marketplace for a Non-Executive Director.”
"MorePeople conducted a very thorough executive search and managed the project very well. We had some excellent candidates and the whole process was smooth and efficient. We enjoyed working with MorePeople"
I started working with MorePeople around a year ago as we were finding recruitment hard, especially for those more skilled roles where we needed horticultural knowledge, the team worked really hard and promptly started sending through candidates that matched the skill set we required, I really appreciated the visit to our site so they could see the size of our plant area and centre. This meant the team could really start to understand the sort of candidate we were looking for; we will continue to work with MorePeople on our future Garden Centre roles due to always receiving a great service
I just wanted to say how impressed I have been with your team throughout this process. We were on a tight timescale but they managed the process from both ends with a perfect balance of pressure, emotional intelligence, and highly effective communication. All parties knew where we were and what was required of us at every stage of the process, with no time wasting and delivered in a professional and concise way, which is exactly how we like to do business. We are delighted with the result and have an excellent future member of the senior management team, the service was exactly as you said it would be!
Rae demonstrated a great understanding of our roles and the type of candidates we were looking for. We were not only happy with the candidates presented but also felt that MorePeople recognised our specific needs. Rae consistently provided credible candidates, resulting in successful appointments that have greatly contributed to our team. Throughout the recruitment process, MorePeople made the experience seamless by keeping us informed at every stage. Their responsiveness, timely feedback, and assistance in negotiating offers made the entire process efficient and stress-free. I am extremely pleased with our relationship and foresee continuing to collaborate with them for our future recruitment needs. Thanks to MorePeople, the recruitment process has been positive and successful.
MorePeople have been a great recruitment partner to us as we have grown and scaled as a business. They provided us with a seamless service, a great shortlist of candidates for a number of vacancies, and kept both ourselves and candidates regularly updated throughout the process. They are a pleasure to deal with and provide great insights into the candidate’s expertise, as well as the broader market. We look forward to continuing the partnership with them on vacancies we need support on in future.
I worked with Sarah for the first time on what was a tricky enough brief. It has been a long time since I collaborated with a recruiter that really understood the brief, quickly created a shortlist of high calibre candidates that were all on spec, and led to an offer being made in less than six weeks start to finish. A truly outstanding result from an exceptional recruitment professional.
I felt more than ever I received quality candidates who were properly screened with experience, the attention to detail from Sandra was on point, with great information and quick responses. Everything was handled for me, all I had to do was interview! We are very pleased and would love to work with Sandra in the future.
We have worked with MorePeople in various areas of the business, but we had never worked with their HR team. We had a requirement, and gave them a go, and from the off they didn’t disappoint. Natalie was upfront and honest at every step of the way, and the candidate she provided has been successful and hit the ground running, making waves still now. We couldn’t be happier. I can’t recommend them enough, and if you use them in Technical or Operations, I encourage you to use them in all aspects, they won’t disappoint.
Really wonderful working with Tom and the wider team at MorePeople. They were friendly, easy to talk to, ambitious and delivered fantastic results for us. If you need a role filled in the AgriTech space, they're great people to work with!
After MorePeople placed me in my role, we continued our relationship on the client side of things. It has been so easy working with the Finance & Professional Services Team . Not only do they know and understand the needs of the industry, but they also get to know you as a person which makes the process relaxed, effortless and fun. Thanks again for all your support.
It was great working with The Technical team, they make it so much easier as they totally understand our world. This way we get to see some great candidates- who absolutely know what they are applying for. The team are knowledgeable, humble and polite. This way of working is a winning combination - thank you.
I have greatly enjoyed working with MorePeople on finding a talented developer for Blue Skies. Always quick to respond (and quick to chase when I am being slow) they have really come up trumps with a number of excellent candidates – leading to a future star joining us. Having worked in the sector, the team's knowledge of the challenges and requirements are superb, giving us insight into the type of person we needed but also helping us to refine and perfect the process right the way from brief through to appointment.
I have had a working relationship with MorePeople for the past 20 years and have always found them to be professional, efficient, and effective. In the last year specifically, I required a couple of appointments that necessitated a unique set of specification criteria. MorePeople was exceptional and filled both vacancies with successful candidates within a month of instruction. Impressive!
“Thanks to MorePeople for their expert help and guidance, as always. We’re very happy with the results of opting for Executive Search for the recruitment of our Nursery Director, Sarah has been tremendous and a credit to the MorePeople team, good work!”
“Thetford GC has used MorePeople several times over the last few years and recently for a senior manager’s role. They were very attentive in understanding us as a business and our requirements, but equally in finding the right fit in terms of experience and personality of the candidates. Really pleased with their service and a successful outcome!”
What I found most beneficial about MorePeople's service is how little time I needed to invest in the process - they are easy to deal with, low maintenance and were able to understand the brief with little input and got to work straight away, all with minimal effort from myself. Due to the level of knowledge, experience and expertise MorePeople has, Luan was able to provide us with a good quality short list of candidates we could move forward with, without flooding us with CVs. I would definitely recommend MorePeople for an effortless yet expert approach to recruitment.
Great service from MorePeople - they understood the brief well, put a cracking advert out and I interviewed some good people. They gave a good overview of all the candidates and kept me in the loop as the process evolved. We used video conferencing to speed up the process and got someone on board from start to finish in 25 days. I would thoroughly recommend the MorePeople team.
“I have had a really good experience using MorePeople. Our contact has been very helpful. It's been lovely to not be pushed into interviewing candidates. We have adored the relaxed/softer approach of working together. We are, and will be, using MorePeople again to look for more agronomy candidates as our business grows!”
“I was really impressed with the communication that was maintained with MorePeople throughout the whole process. Luan Harrison was in regular contact to keep me informed with open and honest feedback about how the candidate search was progressing. In terms of the calibre of candidates that were put forward for the role, I felt that Luan fully understood what we were looking for, hence why we ended up interviewing them all! Having also engaged the services of another recruiter to help fill this role, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend MorePeople as, in our experience, nobody else delivers as well. They are our ‘go to’ recruiter.”
“At Hall Hunter people are our greatest asset and we need passionate people who share our values. MorePeople first placed a candidate with us in 2014 and, since then, have gone on to fill many more vacancies. I know that I can rely on the team to find the right people for our business.”
“Having worked with Luan for a number of years, I have trust in her understanding of the Flamingo business and our culture. This knowledge enables her to provide an honest view of only those candidates that she believes will thrive in our extremely fast paced environment. As a consequence, MorePeople have been integral in assisting Flamingo to build our team with excellent colleagues who have gone on to grow and develop and become great assets to the business.”
“It was really timely that I caught up with MorePeople at the careers fair as they immediately thought of a candidate who would be a great fit for our business. From here the process was very straightforward as the interview went well and we were very happy to offer her the role.”
A huge thankyou for putting me in front of a great business and opportunity. Brian was brilliant throughout the process and I appreciate the care, time and diligence that he provided.”
Max has been fantastic throughout the process. His knowledge of the industry and his contacts ensured I had the best opportunity to join the Land Agency industry. The pre-interview calls were a huge help as a test run before chatting to employers, this proved invaluable. I would highly recommend Max and MorePeople to anyone looking for a career in the agricultural or rural sector. Thank you for your help and hard work, it has made the process of finding a new job stress-free and enjoyable.
Guy Moreton was excellent in laying out the role I was interested in and had very good knowledge of the organisation which was helpful. The candidate pack made preparation straightforward too. Organising interviews and presentations was efficient and swift. Guy was helpful in answering a number of questions I had in the lead into each phase of the recruitment process and communication was good and clear at each stage. I was delighted when he called to say I had been successful and finalising offers etc was fast. Overall, it was a pleasure working with More People and I recommend them.
I had never changed jobs before, probably because it seemed like a big scary life change. But with working through MorePeople I felt I wasn’t doing it alone and Max was very patient through the whole process and really went above and beyond to obtain my requirements/ aspirations for my new role.
Hannah has been absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. Coming from a different background, I didn't expect to break into the rural sector, but she quickly secured multiple interviews for me. Thanks to her guidance, I felt well-equipped and confident going into each one. What stood out most was that, unlike my experiences with other recruiters, I never felt pressured to accept any offers. Ultimately, I can't recommend Hannah and MorePeople highly enough.
I cannot thank Sandra enough for her help in getting me my current role. Firstly, she put me forward for a credit control role within the food industry - unfortunately, this was not successful but as I had shown an interest in the company, due to having worked within the food industry for a number of years, Sandra went back to the company stating my interest and I was then offered an interview for another which I was offered the same day!! Sandra was totally committed to my search and really gave my confidence a boost when talking to her before interviews. I would definitely recommend Sandra & MorePeople to friends and they will definitely be my first port of call if needed.
I am incredibly grateful for the support that Sarah provided during my post-graduate search for employment within the horticulture industry. From the very beginning, Sarah was not only knowledgeable but also exceptionally friendly and approachable, maintaining regular contact and providing frequent updates on available opportunities. After taking the time to understand my personal career goals and finding the perfect role for me, Sarah was then able to provide invaluable guidance regarding the interview process helping me to secure the role. Sarah's dedication and positive attitude made the entire process much more manageable, and her encouragement was a constant source of motivation. Thank you, Sarah!
I first spoke to the team at MorePeople over five years ago in a different capacity. However, those contacts were kept fresh in my mind and remained valuable, as it was great to hear about their work in the NED sector. The non-PE and SME world is not very well served for such searches but Guy kept me up to date, and supported me where necessary, and was also happy to encourage direct contact as and when required. It was calm, comforting and professional with a suitable level of informality to a process that is as much about the relationships as it is about the technical knowledge Thank you
"Sarah is simply a saint! I left a well-paid job to go to work for a company closer to home, They promised me my dream role. The job for life I had been waiting for. To find out after passing my probation I was let go with no explanation on the spot. I reached out to Sarah and she made it her mission to help me. Within a day I had four jobs sent to me in my local area but being 38 years of age I was still looking for a job for life. Two weeks later, Sarah found me a position, not just a job for life but a role I couldn’t even dream about being in, at a company who is a highly rated employer. Sarah is extremely professional, hard working and friendly and always keeping you in the loop. She called last week with the offer. Her work improved our financial position and allowed us to go on holiday for the first time in years. I owe Sarah the world! She is a true asset to MorePeople, thank you again."
“I have been dealing with Jake at MorePeople and words can't describe the professionalism. He has made getting me an interview, to landing me a role with the least amount of stress and 110% Satisfaction. He is a credit to the company, dealing with me Knowing I was still attending other interviews and taking time to listen to the role I was after. Great job Jake and the same to the rest of the Team. I sincerely I hope People reading this review, consider MorePeople as their choice of Recruiter.”
I’m so thankful for your hard work and determination, in making my job search so easy and without issue. I have been farming now for over 25years and this has been the easiest and smoothest application that I have had without doubt. Your expertise and interest in my situation has been nothing less than phenomenal and professional. My new venture into Ireland as General Manager is certainly a highlight for my career. I can certainly warrant passing on your details to other applicants in similar situations.
I met Sarah through the Young People in Horticulture Association (YPHA) and also knew that she worked at MorePeople. When I started looking for a new job, I reached out to her. Initially, I was unsure about what I wanted, but Sarah patiently listened to my requirements and preferences for a new role. She made an effort to find roles suited to what I was looking for. I worked closely with Sarah for a long time, and she was always friendly and supportive. Whenever I was uncertain, she provided valuable advice without making me feel pressured. When searches fell short, she came up with new approaches that motivated me and kept my spirits up. Sarah consistently kept me updated, arranged interviews and facilitated communication between different companies, which was very reassuring. Sarah also provided helpful interview and presentation tips and advice, which proved to be invaluable when I interviewed for potential roles. Thanks to Sarah I was able to find a new exciting role which I don’t think I could have found without her help and advice.
Alesha reached out to me after finding my CV online. She took the time to understand my career aspirations and what I was looking for in my next role. After our discussion, Alesha presented me with a fantastic opportunity that matched my goals. She provided invaluable support and guidance throughout the process, ensuring I was comfortable and well-prepared for the interview. She also liaised with the company to ensure a perfect match for both parties. I highly recommend MorePeople for their dedication to both client and candidate.
I have been working with MorePeople for many years predominantly recruiting for me, with many new members of my teams added by MorePeople over the years. They have always been able to find a number of great candidates with the right experience, skills and culture fit. Most recently Tom found me a new role, he was always proactive keeping me in the loop during the process. He ensured I had all the information I needed and was well-prepared at each stage. As always, MorePeople provide a great service treating you as an individual and everyone in the team is always friendly and helpful.
MorePeople has been forthright at every turn, with full clarity on what’s been happening behind the scenes, making the process very easy and clear. I cannot thank the team enough for helping me find my new role. They remained extremely professional and helpful throughout. I now have a fantastic role, with a great company, and it’s all down to the help and time the team put in. I cannot stress enough, the gratitude I have for this.
I've recently been offered a Seasonal Plant Manager role. This would not have happened without the tireless effort the MorePeople team and I want to commend them on going above and beyond. I applied for a position over a year ago but I graciously declined the position as it wasn't quite what I wanted. I asked if they would keep me in mind if anything came up in the department I wanted to work in. The Garden Centre Team was thorough in connecting me with several CREMs in the area where I wanted to work. As I said, this process has taken over a year but the team have regularly touched base with me during that time and when the right role came up, took me through the whole process again. The application has now been successful and he took so much of the stress out of the entire process. I felt completely supported and I can't thank you enough. Thanks again for everything and keep up the great work!
I cannot thank Felicity enough, I have used More People for several years now during my career working within garden centre retail. Felicity contacts me every six months or so to check in and see how work is going and to see if I am looking for a new challenge. I was recently looking for a new role and called MorePeople to see if they had a suitable position that they were looking to fill, I spoke to Felicity and with her help managed to secure employment in a fantastic role and could not be happier! Thank you again, I would not have found the role without you! Highly recommended, you and MorePeople are amazing!
"I would like to thank Max for his help and support in successfully securing my position as Land Consents Officer with Savills UK. From the beginning, Max kept me regularly updated and still keeps in touch to see how I'm getting along, after starting the role. I also enjoyed our chats about the England rugby team's performance in the 2023 Rugby World Cup! Thanks, Max for your help and support."
Max was really efficient and made the whole process completely seamless from start to finish. Very personable and professional – thank you!
Max helped guide me to a position which suits my current circumstances, yet leaves my options open. He negotiated on my behalf to secure a tailor-made role, giving me a chance to rescue a hard-fought-for career. Thank you, Max, for your emotional support, and encouragement, and for obtaining a salary that reflects my worth.
I met Sarah following up on an open role being advertised via LinkedIn. From the start, I found Sarah highly engaging, supportive and helpful - this continued throughout the process. The interview process was across 4 stages. Prior to each stage, Sarah provided useful preparatory information and always followed up after each interview to get my view on how things went and how I felt about the role. Her feedback shared with me from the hiring company was invaluable in understanding how they felt about me and helping me to prepare for the next stage. At the point of offer, Sarah was great at helping the negotiations go well and I felt she was on my side through the process. Sarah continued to stay in contact after the contract was signed to ensure I was well set up for my first day. Going through any role change it is invaluable to have a supportive recruiter on your side, especially those that take a proactive approach and personal interest in getting the right fit. Sarah achieved all of these and I would certainly recommend her to other candidates.
I am truly grateful to MorePeople for their sincere and proactive approach when it came to finding me my position. Rae was fantastic at finding me a role that really suited me and was nothing but professional, attentive and genuinely supportive along the way. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
I’d never really engaged with headhunters before, but the Rural Professionals team was so personable from the outset and instantly put me at ease. The communication throughout the process was excellent which made what could have been a very daunting experience really enjoyable, and not only did I feel supported through the interview process they have continued to check-in with me since starting my new role. I couldn’t recommend the team at MorePeople highly enough. They really care, which makes them great at what they do!
MorePeople were great to work with and has paired me up with a company I can't wait to get started working for. My consultant reached out to me around a year ago after I left my previous position and has worked hard at finding me a job that is appropriate for my skill set and experience. They have kept me at the centre of the process from start to finish and have come up with good ideas about the different pathways I could venture into. I would highly recommend the team at Morepeople if anyone is looking for a change of company.
Mollie contacted me after a few years since last speaking with MorePeople. She informed me of some great new opportunities in my area which would suit my academic and working experience nicely. Mollie contacted me at least weekly with updates as she got my name to all the current opportunities as well as prospective clients of which she gave me a pick list. This was excellent as I could be sure that I wouldn’t end up with interviews I didn’t want, meaning that mine, Mollies and future employers time wasn’t wasted. Mollie dealing with employers directly means that my CV doesn't get stuck in an inbox and gets the attention it needs. Subsequently, Mollie got my foot in the door with a couple of big names with one meeting with me within a short space of time. This resulted in two successful interviews which Mollie prepped me for when the time was convenient for me. Overall, I’d recommend Mollie to all my peers in the agricultural/horticultural sector who are looking for a new challenge.
Sarah and the guys at More People have been absolute stars to work with. Not only do they really know their stuff about all the aspects that make up the horticultural industry, they also have a passion about matching the right people up for the right roles and will go above and beyond to do this successfully. I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough and hope that they continue to help people, like me, to find there next adventure in an exciting career. Thanks guys, you really are smashing it!
I would highly recommend MorePeople, following my experience. They understood just what I was looking for and came back with a really promising lead in no time at all! Throughout the interview process, they provided ample advice and feedback for which I am incredibly grateful. Thanks MorePeople!
My consultant is great at his job; they take great care in getting to know you as a person and what you are looking at doing professionally. They made sure I was updated with what was happening in the hiring process. MorePeople really does care about their clients, as they have taken the time to check in with me even after I have been placed in my role. I would highly recommend working with MorePeople.
James is a very friendly person, who has great communication style and presents as someone who takes a genuine interest in his clients and acts in their best interests. During my first conversation with James, I explained that I would be interested in hearing about any new positions, but as I was currently months away from completing my MSc, I didn’t feel that the time for me to focus on job hunting was quite right. James was excepting of this and told me that he would be in touch in a few months’ time to find out how I had got on. Months later James called me enthusiastically, about a job role, which although I hadn’t considered, he was sure that it could be a good fit for my skill set and ambition. James was very knowledgeable not only about the job role but crucially about the company, there employees and the ethos of the business. For me this was really reassuring, and I immediately felt at ease with James negotiating a first stage interview for me. At every level of the 3-stage interview process, James was very professional and with his support and mentoring he made a potentially stressful experience, one that was relatively straightforward. I am one month into my new job and within the first few weeks I have received an email from James asking my how I am settling in, something that didn’t surprise me at all, as this level of attention to detail is what I have come to expect. I have been extremely satisfied with the help, assistance and support that James has provided me in my search to secure a new job and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending James at Morepeople to friends and colleagues in the future.
My consultant has been the most helpful in preparing me for my interviews with JHFarming these past few weeks. They gave me the confidence boost I needed to get me through this first job interview since moving to the UK a month ago. I was quite intimidated by the field before their reassurance and am most pleased to say, I am extremely happy with the services of this company. I would like to thank my consultant for their communication skills and ability to comfort me along the way. Needless to say I landed the job and I am grateful to have been so well taken care of.
Will recruited me for a Packhouse Change Manager role. His professionalism, words of encouragement, honesty and the preparations of the entire process helped me obtain this new job. He ensured I was kept informed every step of the way and gave me all the information required to be successful. Will is one of the best recruiters I have dealt with. Incredibly talented, never missed a follow-up call, and a genuine pleasure to work with. An absolute credit to professionalism. If I will ever need a recruiter again, he would be the one I would not hesitate to approach first.
Sarah, and MorePeople came and helped me to find my new job just in time. I was ready to change but was not sure how to start. I wanted to find a job that is motivating and helps with my self-improvement. Sarah was super helpful all the way through the process.
