Our commitment to ethical, thoughtful recruitment is what sets us apart. The knowledge we’ve built over the years now strikes a balance between agricultural insight and recruitment expertise. I’m fortunate to have a team around me who push and challenge each other to ensure we’re setting ourselves apart. It can hurt sometimes, but that’s growing pains. We speak to businesses every day who need agronomists, feed sales professionals, and technical experts but don’t realise these talent pools are shrinking. That’s where we come in: helping companies think differently, look beyond the sector, and find people with the drive and attributes to take them to the next level. As we look ahead, we know British agribusiness is changing fast. Sustainability, technology, succession, and supply chain resilience are reshaping the landscape. It’s our mission to continue to play our part in this. So as we celebrate this milestone, we invite you to reflect with us - not just on where we’ve been, but where we’re going. The question we must all ask is: Are we, as an industry, truly investing in the people that will take us forward or are we still hiring for the world we’re trying to leave behind? At De Lacy Executive, we’re committed to helping answer that question not just for today, but for the future. Here’s to the next 25 years and to the people who will shape them.
