Agri, Food & Horti

Strengthening the supply chain, today and tomorrow.

Agri, food, and horti are changing faster than ever. The chain is digitalising, sustainability is no longer a choice but a necessity, and pressure on margins and the labour market continues to grow. Luke has been recruiting managers and senior professionals for this sector for over fifteen years. From cultivation to technology, from production to retail. 

What Luke sees in this sector

Joris Appeldoorn has been involved in recruitment for organisations across the full breadth of the chain for many years. The candidate market is small and closely interconnected. Strong managers know one another and cannot be reached through a job platform. 

Chain knowledge, sustainability agendas and international dynamics all play a significant role. A Finance Manager in the food industry requires a different profile from the same position in another sector.
