About

Senior Recruitment Consultant at Marvel FMCG Ltd we are 100% focused on looking ahead and committed to making a brighter future for everyone, unlike the corporate profit-driven recruiters of the past.

Our ethos at Marvel FMCG is to always give something back, and support a charity extremely close to our hearts.

Our Founder’s father died of Alzheimer’s on Christmas Day 2016. Having watched him deal with the illness for 7 years, his family faced multiple challenges and heartache. He has always wanted to do something significant to honour him and support the charity and with Marvel FMCG, we can really contribute, and give back.

For every candidate that we place 1% of their annual salary will be donated to The Marvel Foundation. We want to make a big difference and by working with us, you can help us to make this a reality.

Whether you are an established company or an up and coming start-up, Marvel FMCG will become an extension of your brand. Each business we work with is treated like a partner to us. We want to understand your culture, values, challenges, long term plans and what good looks like to you, we are here to remove the headaches and help you flourish.

If you are looking for a new role, you can rest assured that we are big picture thinkers and your next career step will be in a direction that will give you a brighter future.

There will be guest interviews from the industry to explore the challenges we face and further giving you a comprehensive offering of stories, tips and advice so bit by bit we can beat the stigma.
