<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/static/imglib/logo-2024.png" height="182" width="400" alt="" />&nbsp;<blockquote>Jamie supported me with a number of recruitment campaigns at a food manufacturing organisation that I worked for. From the outset, Jamie took time and care to understand what the Company needed, spending more time on the organisational culture and personal competencies that were needed to be successful in the role. The campaigns were always well organised and he consulted with the business throughout the process to ensure we were kept informed and in order that he could refine the process quickly, if it was needed. We were never bombarded by CV's that were not relevant, he worked hard to ensure the shortlisted candidates were suitable, credible and committed. I can't recall one campaign that Jamie was not able deliver on. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jamie to a company looking to recruit, he knows his industry, builds good relationships with candidates and clients and acts as an extension to any organisation recruiting.</blockquote>&nbsp;<img src="/static/imglib/1655129125018.jpeg" height="100" width="100" alt="" />

<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/static/imglib/Agrana.jpg" height="175" width="300" alt="" /><blockquote>I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to Jamie for his exceptional work in securing me a position as a Sales and Business Development Manager at Agrana. From the initial consultation, Jamie demonstrated a genuine interest in my career goals and took the time to understand my skills and preferences. He provided valuable insights into the job market and offered guidance on my resume and interview preparation. To go above and beyond, he also took the time to connect on a personal level, which only added the trust gained over a short period of time. In my opinion, required to fully ensure you're comfortable taking the next steps together in securing a new role. Throughout the entire process, he maintained excellent communication, keeping me informed at every stage. Jamie's dedication and professionalism were evident and I truly appreciate his commitment to finding the right fit for me. I highly recommend Jamie to anyone.</blockquote>&nbsp;<img src="/static/imglib/1516623450068.jpeg" height="100" width="100" alt="" />

Ryan Gaskin, Sales & BDM Foodservice EMEA @ Agrana

<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/static/imglib/Frulact.png" height="124" width="400" alt="" /><blockquote>I had been looking for my next career opportunity when Jamie reached out. From day one he has been very professional and methodical in his approach. Being in the US I did not think much about recruiters in the UK, Jamie definitely changed that perspective with his knowledge of the US markets and global connections. Jamie collaborated at every step of the process, providing relevant insight to the standards employers were keyed in on for their next professional. Jamie provided timely feedback after every interview, as well as preparations before each interview. Providing important points for each individual involved in the interview, and the topic/characteristics these individuals were desiring in a candidate. As I was working on multiple opportunities Jamie kept pace with the other opportunities, checking in frequently for any updates. When the offer arrived he did a great job explaining the compensation package and comparing it to the current market. Throughout the full process I felt at ease and confident in his abilities to maximize my value. I would recommend any of my friends and family to Jamie who are looking for their next career opportunity. They would be in good hands and I feel confident the best outcome would be obtained.</blockquote>&nbsp;<img src="/static/imglib/1556110440360.jpeg" height="100" width="100" alt="" />

<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/static/imglib/logo-2024.png" height="183" width="400" alt="" />&nbsp;<blockquote>Jamie has supported me on a number of recruitment projects over the last 5 years. These were in a number of functions - commercial, marketing, technical, procurement and operations. He has a great network, takes time to understand the role being recruited and the person requirements and has always delivered a strong long and short list. Communication has always been good and Jamie has always found us great candidates. Follow up is also good , I would highly recommend Jamie.</blockquote>&nbsp;<img src="/static/imglib/1719579562687.jpeg" height="100" width="100" alt="" />

Steve Moon, ex. CEO @ JF Renshaw

<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/static/imglib/Agrana.jpg" height="175" width="300" alt="" /><blockquote>I had the pleasure of working with Jamie, and I must say, it was a truly exceptional experience. Right from the outset, Jamie provided crystal-clear insights into the opportunity and the specific requirements, ensuring that I had a solid understanding from the get-go. What truly sets Jamie apart is the unwavering support and invaluable guidance he provided throughout the entire process. From offering astute advice to delivering candid and constructive feedback from the employer, Jamie consistently went the extra mile to ensure my success. His responsiveness was impeccable, promptly addressing any questions or concerns, even beyond regular working hours. I genuinely believe that my successful employment with the new employer was a collaborative effort, and I owe a substantial debt of gratitude to Jamie. Beyond the professional aspects, our interactions also included insightful discussions about the food industry and personal matters, which added a unique and enjoyable dimension to our partnership. For anyone in the food business seeking new opportunities, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Jamie. When the time is right for me, I certainly will. Jamie's expertise and dedication are second to none, making him a standout recruiter in the food industry. </blockquote><img src="/static/imglib/1602615977274.jpeg" height="100" width="100" alt="" />

Enzo Li Vigni - Commercial Director

I worked with Jamie initially in 2018 as a candidate, and then as a client 2019 - 2023.Jamie is very thorough in the way he works and makes sure he understands the details of the roles he is working on, he also puts in the same level of detail into understanding the candidates and their fit for the role and organisation.Jamie is also very trustworthy, gives an honest opinion and is very reliable . He is also a very likeable person and goes above and beyond the call of the duty to help in any way he can.&nbsp;<img src="/static/imglib/1697704477465.jpeg" height="100" width="100" alt="" />

Kathy Shaw - Global R&D Director

<blockquote>I have been very impressed with the service that I have received from Jamie. Jamie came across as a down to earth person, yet very professional in his approach. The recruitment method was unique to me at first, however, the tools helped me to highlight my skills and experience in addition to the CV and thus securing that 1st important interview. From the very first telephone call, identifying my career needs to the end, going the extra miles with helping with my relocation once the job was secured &ndash;Jamie&rsquo;s support throughout the process has been 2nd to none. I can genuinely recommend Jamie Pickup to anyone wishing to be involved in a recruitment process.&nbsp;</blockquote>&nbsp;<img src="/static/imglib/1516545317837.jpeg" height="100" width="100" alt="" />&nbsp;
