About

Specialists, not generalists

CPG Search works exclusively in food and beverage. We understand the sector, its pressures, and what strong leadership actually looks like inside a plant, a sales team, or a technical function.

Our work spans manufacturing and operations through to commercial, R&D, HR, finance, and supply chain. We cover roles from first-line supervisor to Chief Executive, across North America, Europe, and beyond.

Candidate networks

We maintain active relationships with passive talent across every function and level in the industry.

Speed and discretion

We move quickly, communicate clearly, and handle every search with the confidentiality it deserves.

Global reach

Headquartered in the UK with deep North American coverage and an expanding international network.
