ABOUT MACGREGOR BLACK
We are the complete talent partner
Decades of international recruitment experience and sector knowledge sit at the foundation of MacGregor Black. Our unique value proposition as ‘the complete talent partner’ means every consultant is a genuine expert in the industry and function they serve, not a generalist chasing volume. That is a deliberate choice, and it defines everything about how we work.
We operate exclusively in consumer and retail. Not because we can’t expand, but because specialism is the point. Our three practice areas, Food & Drink; Sports, Outdoor, Fashion & Luxury; and Consumer Goods, are each led by functional experts who understand how these industries operate. They’ve built global networks over many years and know who the best talent is before a brief lands on their desk.

WHAT MAKES MB DIFFERENT
Specialist, not generalist
What makes the difference at MacGregor Black is who does the work. Our consultants aren’t generalists who have drifted into consumer and retail; they’ve built careers within it. That depth of knowledge changes what a search looks like and what a client gets at the end of it.
Our clients don’t brief us and wait for CVs. They get a consultant who already understands the market context, who can challenge a job spec when it’s wrong, and who will tell them honestly when the candidate they want doesn’t exist at the salary they’ve set. That kind of candour is rare in this industry, and it’s the thing our clients tend to value most.
