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. - Read our 2020 Salary & Benefits Survey report for the Fresh Produce sector​​​At MorePeople you will find people who have worked in fruit, veg and flowers who can give you first-hand advice about the career options available in this exciting and rapidly expanding sector. ​Our client-base is spread throughout the world.

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. - Read our 2020 Salary & Benefits Survey report for the Agriculture sectorAt MorePeople you will find people who have family farms at home or have studied agricultural degrees at Newcastle, Harper Adams and RAU Cirencester.

​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
