In a highly competitive market, the Consumer Wholesale and Retail sector are broad and diverse, and as such requires a certain understanding of channels to market, as well as the ability to service and deliver. From a Wholesale perspective it is geared around branding (marketing) and sales, with Retail focused on product and the execution (Buying and Merchandise Planning).
With this in mind, Ethos Consumer Retail & Wholesale Recruitment have broken our focus and level of specialisation into 3 key areas for mid to senior level executives within the respective job functions:
Jason Burgess
Practice Leader Ethos Corporation
11 Years Recruitment experience within a variety of industry sectors including FMCG/Consumer, Sport/Entertainment, Advertising/Media, as well as Retail. This has predominantly been mid to senior sales and marketing executives, with a strong focus on commercial experience. I have also recruited a number of senior/board level appointments including CEO and MD level.Mid to senior level Executive Recruitment across Sales, Marketing, Trade Marketing and Category Management within a variety of industry sectors including FMCG/Consumer, Sport/Entertainment, Advertising/Media as well as Retail (including multi site franchise) markets. This includes senior/board level appointments such as CEO/MD positions.
- Sales - both in field operations and account management, together with category management (including Trade Marketing), driven through a number of retail channels within the Consumer market.
- Marketing – brand/product management with a focus on the breadth of the marketing mix and principles. This covers both above and below the line activities such as advertising & promotion, market research, product design and development, R & D, forecasting and analysis etc.
- Retail - Design and Product Development through to buying which dovetails with the Merchandise Planning of the product and the source to store Supply Chain. In addition we cover both the individuals and teams that that execute the product within a Retail Operations capacity.
With the nature of the supplier and retailer relationship becoming more complex (including issues of supply chain and delivery, branding, category management margins etc), it has become apparent that to be able to recruit within either sector we must understand each of the retails channels.
Whether this is Grocery, Mass Merchants, Convenience, Department Stores, High Street Fashion, Pharmacy, Liquor, Hardware etc, each requires varying degrees of competency and skill base. Ethos Consumer Retail & Wholesale Recruitment partner with our clientele and candidates to maintain a strong knowledge of each and provide advice on current market trends which will truly add value beyond the executive recruitment process
Focusing on both national and international Wholesale and Retail organisations, our core market resides with specific product categories which include (but not limited to) Food, Beverage (alcohol and non alcohol), High Street Fashion, Convenience, Pharmacy, Hardware, Consumer Durables, & Health and Beauty. As an extension to this we do work with related industry sectors such as Sport and Leisure, Advertising, PR and Media, together with Integrated Marketing Agencies
