I once read that as a recruiter, only certain companies are worth trying to convert into clients. The test? They have to genuinely care about improving the way they hire.
That really stuck with me.

I’ve chosen Paul to lead a variety of strategically important recruitment campaigns for Ingredion both in the UK and all across the EMEA region. He is detail focused, possesses a very impressive knowledge of the food ingredients market and has the ability to build strong relationships with both clients and candidates. I’d recommend him to any ingredients supplier looking to add real value to their recruitment process.
I would highly recommend using Andrew Baker if you are looking for a premium level of recruitment to strengthen your business and your team. From start to finish the whole way in which Andrew communicated with me was exceptional; the best experience I have had in 16 years of nutrition in dealing with a Recruitment Consultant.
1485 provided value add candidates through a thorough benchmarked process leading to successfully employed team members, at all levels, within the commercial and supply chain environment, all have delivered accelerated value add. Perfect.
Above that, they were reasonable and easy to work with due to their excellent people skills and never-compromising results.
1485 deliver gamechangers.
I’ve chosen Andrew to lead recruitment campaigns for me at both All About Food and St Pierre Groupe. He has an excellent & proactive client approach, is open to feedback and gets the brief extremely well. He asks the right questions and sets himself apart from the pack with his standard of communication, both with the client and the candidates. Works at pace, delivering great results.
I have worked with Paul over the last 14 years whereby he has completed a number of assignments for me across multiple businesses.
Paul really understands the food industry, from Sales and Marketing through to Product Development and Process roles. Paul has always delivered great candidates, which met the brief whilst providing me with market insight and valuable candidate intel every step of the way.
I would absolutely recommend Paul to anybody looking to recruit hard-to-fill positions in the food ingredients & nutrition arena.
Having worked with Andrew as a candidate when securing my role at Clif Bar, once I had the opportunity to recruit into my team in my new role, I turned to Andrew once again as we had developed a close working relationship, he understood deeply the culture of the business and the type of person I was seeking. He developed a detailed shortlist within a few weeks and we managed to fill the role despite the COVID pandemic and it being an international role.
Paul was amazing at helping me apply for my new job.
He kept me informed and up-to-date at all times.
1000% recommend to anyone!
Andrew was a fantastic support in my search for a new role. Great communication throughout the process and provided clarity on suitable roles and positions.
Would recommend getting in touch if you’re considering changing career path!
Impressive industry knowledge, with a profound understanding into the unique dynamics within this specialist sector.
Detailed exploration of both previous achievements and future aspirations to ensure mutual alignment.
Good open and honest communication throughout the process.
Exceptional!
