The Branding Issue

Welcome to the inaugural newsletter from the newly officiated Hutchinson Jonas Group, the food industry’s recruiters.

While we waited for the ink to dry on the group merger, we had a bit of time to reflect on our 15 years in the industry and our ever-growing client list, which increasingly reads like a roll call of the UK’s most successful food companies and their brands. That’s why we’ve decided to dedicate this first issue to brands.

“A business based on brand is, very simply, a business primed for success,” said David D’Alessandro in his book Brand Warfare. So, who have been named as the UK’s top brands? Which store-cupboard favourite claims to be the UK’s oldest brand? Read about how the brand leaders are responding to the shift towards consumer power, and which food & drinks brands are set to lead the way in 2009.

Thinking of top brands, you might be interested to know that the Hutchinson Jonas Group currently recruits for 78 of the top 100 food companies within the UK*, a couple of examples are below:

As well as reading about lots of other successful companies, you can find out more about us; browse a few quirky morsels of food news and some pertinent legislation updates; read case studies about two of our top candidates; and be the first to witness Scott dusting off his chef’s hat (from catering college, circa 1988-90) and produce his first seasonal recipe...

We hope you enjoy the issue. We’d love to hear what you think so do get in touch with any feedback.
