The Albex Group
The Albex Group is a family of food ingredient processing and distribution companies. We offer ingredient manufacturers a ready-made, cost-effective and high impact route to every market for their goods. We offer users of those ingredients unrivalled choice, availability, service and value.
We’re home to nine operating brands: BFP, Henley Bridge Ingredients, Jones Kent, Kent Foods, Kent Foods BV, Kent Foodservice, Rainbow Dust, Tom Walker & Sons and Yes Chef These brands are supported by Albex Shared Services who provide centralised Finance, Food Safety, IT, Transportation and Warehousing services.
Collectively we operate from 10 sites in the UK and Europe, serve 16,000 customers a year with 4,500 products, employ 300 people and have an annual turnover of more than £400m.
The role
HR is currently managed within each of our operating brands and Shared Services function, only one of which has a dedicated HR function (comprising one individual). This newly formed role of Group HR Director will change our approach. In the first instance, the Group HR Director , working in close partnership with Managing Directors within each entity and reporting into a Director on the Albex Group Board, will be responsible for implementing solid policies and procedures across the Albex Group. This will include:
- Auditing current HR policies and procedures then enhancing them
- Implementing a staff feedback mechanism and HR management platform
- Ensuring appropriate documentation is in place, e.g. Employee Handbooks
- Ensuring that comprehensive and accurate HR records are maintained
- Developing KPIs and implementing a system to monitor these
- Implementing an HR management platform if deemed appropriate
- Determining the future staffing needs of the Group HR function
- Handling any legal aspects of HR
Having established solid foundations, they will then focus on re-shaping how we approach the more strategic aspects of HR. This will include:
- Talent acquisition and retention
- Training and professional development
- Remuneration and benefits
- Organisational structure and succession planning
- Cultural development
The role will be based in Lewes, England, and will require regular visits to different sites and stakeholders across the UK.
Your profile
It’s likely that you’ll display the following characteristics:
- A strategic thinker with a methodical approach, but also pragmatic
- Commercially astute and understands the wider business context
- Strong communication, stakeholder and change management skills
