Recruitment consultant MorePeople, sponsor of the Re:fresh Young Person of the Year Award, has announced the appointment of Ian Merton, the former food trading director at Sainsbury’s as an associate director.
MorePeople director Guy Moreton said Merton will work on continued development of the company’s director-level recruitment services with Michael Paske and Peter Durose. “In particular he will help us develop the range of recruitment and training solutions that we provide within the broad category of fresh food,” said Moreton. “Ian brings to MorePeople a wealth of retail sector knowledge gained from a career spanning over 40 years in both food and non-food.
“We are delighted that someone of Ian’s calibre and experience has chosen to join us here at MorePeople. His understanding of the needs and demands of UK retailers and what that means for companies operating in the fresh food supply chain can only benefit us in the sourcing and development of the talented individuals needed to ensure our clients stay at the forefront of the sectors they operate in.”
MorePeople has built its business in the food and horticulture sectors on the principle of only recruiting team members with hands-on experience directly relevant to these two areas. “We believe this is all the more important when recruiting for senior manager and director level roles,” said Moreton.
