One of the greatest privileges of working in executive search in agriculture, horticulture and fresh produce is receiving messages like this.
Recently, we helped place a Farm Manager with a highly respected farming business, where he will succeed a long-serving manager after more than 30 years in the role. It is a significant appointment, not only for the business but also for the individual and his family as they prepare for an exciting new chapter.
Shortly before starting his new position, we received this message:
“Thank you for your help in securing my new Farm Manager role. As our move gets closer, my family and I are excited about this new chapter. To make it even better, I’ve also passed my BASIS qualification before starting, which gives me real confidence going into the role. Thank you again for all your support throughout the process.”
Messages like this remind us that recruitment is about far more than simply filling a vacancy.
Behind every appointment is a person taking the next step in their career, a family preparing for change, and a business placing its trust in someone to help shape its future.
In this case, our candidate not only secured an outstanding opportunity but also achieved his BASIS Certificate in Crop Protection before taking up the role. That commitment to professional development speaks volumes about the type of individual he is, and we have every confidence he will build on the excellent legacy left by his predecessor.
At Redfox Executive Selection, we are proud to work with businesses that invest in people and with candidates who are prepared to invest in themselves.
Helping to bring those two together is why we do what we do.
To our candidate, congratulations once again. We wish you and your family every success in your new role, and we look forward to following your journey in the years ahead.
