Manchester-based food and drink manufacturing recruitment specialists, Silven Recruitment, have kicked off 2022 with a bang. Since 2012, the agency have offered permanent and interim recruitment solutions to clients and candidates across the UK and globally. They have partnered with household names like Heinz, Finsbury Food group and Little Moons.
As Silven hit the 10-year milestone, they have announced some changes at the top to support further growth. Former sales director Jeremy Pierce has been appointed managing director after almost a decade at the agency, as founder Ian Simkins steps into the role of CEO.
“The time is right for Jeremy to take over the reins day to day,” says Ian. “It frees me up to focus on the company’s long-term growth plans and the overall strategic development.”
Gilbert Gregory has also been promoted from recruitment manager to head of permanent recruitment, while Gemma Harris and Keeley Grindrod have been promoted to senior consultants.
“After working so hard and generating amazing results in 2021, they all thoroughly deserve it,” adds Ian. “Gilbert is the first person to manage every single consultant in the perm team and I can’t wait to see him make the role his own.”
The moves come as Silven celebrate their 10th anniversary, and a recent brand refresh including a new website, to cement the agency’s status as the leading food and drink manufacturing recruiter.
