Our Specialist Sectors

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.
