Focus International and IFR-A attend Anuga 2011

Anuga is not only the largest food and beverage fair in the world; it's also the sector's most important fair for new markets and target groups. It's the perfect venue for all the latest trends and themes - and a great place to make first-rate contacts and business deals.

6,596 companies from 100 countries attended Anuga 2011, which occupied a gross exhibition space of 284,000 m². Over 155,000 trade visitors from 180 countries attended Anuga 2011.

Focus International was represented at Anuga by Senior Consultant Sally Galloway, whilst Director Stephen Jones also attended representing Focus Management Consultants. In addition, both were promoting the International Food Recruitment Alliance (IFR-A) with the FMCL international partners - Dupp (Holland), FoodJob.dk  (Denmark), ManageriA (France/Spain), Rau Consultants (Germany) and Rec Food (Poland).

The show boasted some of the biggest names in the global food manufacturing industry, and also had a few extra perks such as the World Cup trophy on display.

Attending Anuga enabled Focus International to meet with up a number of existing clients as well as discuss new assignments with some food and drink businesses  looking to tap into a quality database of experienced UK and international food candidates.  We're now working on a number of opportunities in Kuwait, Dubai and Saudi Arabia, as well as other roles in Australia and Europe.
