FMCG Lead, Sales
Tim Ogilvy
Overview
Q&A
Previous recruits

Intrinsically focused on building and maintaining long term mutually beneficial relationships. Connecting the right candidates with the right clients is what motivated my move to recruitment.

With FMCG experience since 2014, Tim’s expertise is grounded in firsthand industry experience.

Across Grocery and Foodservice, nine categories and multiple commercial leadership roles, Tim developed a practical understanding of how successful FMCG businesses operate, from manufacturing and distribution through to the customer and shelf.

Today, he leads u&u’s FMCG practice nationally, helping businesses appoint high-performing teams across Sales, Category and Marketing.

Tim brings commercial insight and practical judgement to every search. He looks beyond the brief to understand the strategy, customer, channel, culture and leadership environment, then identifies people who can deliver results and thrive in the role.

For clients, this means a more targeted process, stronger market insight and appointments aligned to both immediate priorities and long-term growth. For candidates, it means informed advice, honest conversations and opportunities matched to their capabilities, ambitions and values.

He is also an active voice in the industry. Through his From FMCG LinkedIn series, Tim shares practical commentary on leadership, career progression, consumer trends, organisational change and the evolving hiring landscape with an audience of more than 8,500 followers.

Through u&unplugged and the Sales, Women in Leadership (S.W.I.L) event series, he brings senior executives and emerging talent together for open conversations, practical insight and stronger industry connections.

Collaborative, relationship-led and focused on outcomes, Tim is a trusted adviser to clients and candidates who value genuine industry understanding, thoughtful counsel and a clear focus on long-term fit.
