Recruit into enough private label manufacturing businesses in FMCG and you notice the ones that attract the best commercial talent all have the same 5 things in common.
- Customer Focus. Relentless customer focus and absolute clarity on this across all levels and in every function.
- Clear Expectations. They set the bar high, and they're honest about it. Everyone knows what good looks like from day one. No vague expectations, no guessing games.
- Low ego. The team is focused enough that titles matter less than getting the product out the door and the customer looked after. OTIF is king...
- High Trust. The right tools, and a genuine commitment to the customer internally and then they get out of the way and let good people do their job.
- Well invested. They keep it simple and spend money on good people and kit. You can't deliver for the customer if your machines are crap and you skimped out on the M&S Commercial Manager's salary and bonus.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
