Who We Are
After years recruiting across the FMCG sector, I founded Thistle Rose Recruitment with a simple goal: to build a recruitment business focused on long term relationships rather than short term placements.
Today, we partner with manufacturers, suppliers and branded businesses across FMCG, recruiting from specialist roles through to senior leadership appointments. Every search is built on honesty, market expertise and a genuine understanding of both clients and candidates.
We believe great recruitment isn't just about filling vacancies. It's about finding the right people who make a lasting impact.
Our Services
The best people are not always looking for a new role. Through proactive headhunting and an extensive network across the food and drinks industries, we identify and engage high calibre passive talent that traditional recruitment methods often miss. Whether you are recruiting for a senior leadership position or a specialist role, we take a targeted approach to finding the right individual for your business.

At Thistle Rose Recruitment, we're committed to giving back to the communities we work in. That's why we're proud to support Charlie House, a charity that provides vital care and support to children with life limiting and life threatening conditions, along with their families.
As our business grows, we'll continue to support Charlie House through fundraising and corporate donations, helping them continue the incredible work they do

We specialise exclusively in FMCG, giving our clients access to market knowledge and talent networks that generalist recruiters simply do not have.
Our expertise covers:
Recruitment is about people, not just vacancies. We invest time in getting to know both our clients and candidates, understanding what drives them, where they want to go and what success looks like. By building long term relationships rather than transactional ones, we are able to make introductions that genuinely benefit both sides. Whether you are hiring or considering your next move, we believe the best partnerships start with a conversation.

Working with Toby to secure my National Account Manager role was a great experience. His professional communication, honest feedback, and constructive interview advice kept me informed, well-prepared, and supported throughout. I highly recommend him as an efficient, genuinely helpful recruiter.
