Focus Management Group is FDA’s first recruitment partner

 

Food industry recruitment consultancy, Focus Management Group has formed a strategic partnership with the Food Development Association (FDA), becoming its first ever official recruitment partner.

The FDA is the UK's first association dedicated to food development, providing networking and support for foodservice businesses, manufacturers and retailers.

Stephen Jones, director of Focus Management commented: "Through our partnership with the FDA we aim to bring a wider pool of talent to the industry both in the UK and internationally. This is an exciting and challenging time for the food industry and the FDA's emphasis on best practice and skills development will be the key to business success in the future. We welcome the arrival of the FDA as a valuable resource for all who are serious about a career in food and who are motivated to advance their knowledge and employment prospects.

"We plan to become active partners, participating in regional and national events as well as supporting the overall aims and objectives of the Association to improve knowledge and raise awareness of the food development industry and its stakeholders."

FDA Chairman Jon Bicknell added: "With Focus Management being so dedicated to the food industry, they were an obvious choice as our first ever recruitment partner and we look forward to working with them in a long and successful relationship."

The FDA is the first ever association dedicated to food development in all its forms. By bringing together food development devotees from across the UK and offering them a networking forum, as well as an authoritative source for culinary and technical information, the Association aims to help foodservice businesses, manufacturers and retailers to enhance their services, products and menus. 

In addition the FDA will become an official body for professional and educational advancement, helping its members to enhance their foodservice skills, knowledge, and careers.
