AB World Foods is a £250m business with a mission to “Inspire people to explore the incredible flavours of the world.” Brands in the portfolio include Pataks, Blue Dragon, Tabasco, Levi Roots, Alfez and the Capsicana range. Growth has been impressive over recent years in the UK and across key international markets. AB World Foods is part of ABF Group, with operations over 50 countries and sales of over £15 billion.

We support talent acquisition and deliver a talent management programme for the Commercial, Marketing and Supply Chain functions for mid-market and senior leadership opportunities.

Challenges

With the ABWF head office based in Maidenhead alongside a hybrid working policy of 3 connected days a week, it can be a challenge to engage and interest London based talent. ABWF is less well known in the FMCG market compared to the brands in their portfolio. We ensure we put a spotlight on the brands, the culture and the development opportunities when connecting with potential talent.

Outcome

ABWF fully immersed Mackenzie Jones into the business, attending events from cook-ups to conferences. We have successfully introduced 51 candidates across different functional areas. We operate an ongoing talent management programme, have completed multiple talent mapping projects and have advised on organisational design. ABWF believes in no barriers to talent and understands the importance of a diverse workforce across all levels. We support this by providing anonymised CV’s and a diverse shortlist and tracking the results and provide a report at the end of each process.
