Let us reintroduce ourselves. Alexander Steele is a leading recruitment firm based in Edinburgh, specialising in permanent, contract, and interim roles across the Consumer Goods sectors with an emphasis on Food and Drink Manufacturing operating across the UK, Europe, and the US. We partner with a wide range of businesses from Private label manufacturers to renowned household brands and service mid to senior-level vacancies across all departments.

Alexander Steele Recruitment was established in 2018 by Courtney (Operations Director) and Richard Steele (Managing Director) with a vision of doing things differently, and we pride ourselves on building longstanding relationships with our clients and candidates.

"The recruitment industry is renowned for a high turnover of staff. This rotating door creates a disconnect when businesses are looking for a consultant who understands the needs of their company. Our goal was to create an agency that nurtures and retains consultants because we know that through building careers at Alexander Steele, the consultants here gain a true understanding of the consumer goods industry and the companies they are working with. This is ultimately the best way to guarantee longstanding relationships and add true value to our clients."Courtney Steele, Operations Director.

In the 6 years of business, Alexander Steele has grown to a team of 18 passionate consultants who take an active interest in and have a deep understanding of the Consumer Goods Industry.

Our Senior Leadership team at Alexander Steele is composed of industry experts with a wealth of experience. Giuseppe Leo, Business Director, Greg Carroll, Head of Commercial Recruitment and Martin Bryce, Head of Manufacturing Recruitment, together bring over 50 years of combined expertise. Their deep knowledge plays a crucial role in driving the success of our business and delivering exceptional recruitment services. Each leader contributes invaluable industry understanding, helping us to continually adapt and meet the needs of our clients and candidates.
