​​Background

A graduate of Nottingham University’s school of Agriculture, Guy is a sales and marketing specialist who pioneered the marketing of cut flowers and plants to multiple retailers in the UK. He held Commercial Director and MD roles in some of the country’s largest produce and horticultural businesses before setting up MorePeople in 2000.

Guy is responsible for recruitment of Director level roles and specialises in working with main Board Directors and Non-Executive Directors in the SME marketplace.

An interesting fact about Guy...

Guy was one of the first people to run a 'bull beef' unit in the UK. During a gap year he worked on an arable farm in Suffolk and the farmer insisted that he did something proactive, over and above driving a tractor, in order to 'earn his keep'! Having watched a farming programme on TV about 'bull beef' in the USA, Guy suggested introducing 'bull beef' production in Suffolk. The farmer agreed and Guy set it up from scratch!

    MorePeople were excellent in the way they managed the potentially challenging recruitment of our first CEO. ​They took a high-level brief and turned around a clear role description which we could all recognise. ​Their communications were timely and focussed making our part of the process as easy as possible. ​As per the brief the very strong list of candidates was really interesting from a wide and varied range of backgrounds and experience. The interview process and appointment was made very straightforward. I've known the MorePeople team for many years and they never fail to just get it and deliver.

    ​Guy Moreton was excellent in laying out the role I was interested in and had very good knowledge of the organisation which was helpful. The candidate pack made preparation straightforward too. Organising interviews and presentations was efficient and swift. Guy was helpful in answering a number of questions I had in the lead into each phase of the recruitment process and communication was good and clear at each stage. I was delighted when he called to say I had been successful and finalising offers etc was fast. Overall, it was a pleasure working with More People and I recommend them.

    ​“I’ve now twice used MorePeople to recruit a Non-Executive Director for the Camgrain board. On both occasions MorePeople were able to source high quality candidates who fitted not only the job specification but also the culture of our business and on both occasions, we have made successful appointments from within their talent pool. I find MorePeople to be professional, thorough, and easy to work with and would recommend their recruitment services to anyone in the marketplace for a Non-Executive Director.”

    I first spoke to the team at MorePeople over five years ago in a different capacity. However, those contacts were kept fresh in my mind and remained valuable, as it was great to hear about their work in the NED sector. The non-PE and SME world is not very well served for such searches but Guy kept me up to date, and supported me where necessary, and was also happy to encourage direct contact as and when required. It was calm, comforting and professional with a suitable level of informality to a process that is as much about the relationships as it is about the technical knowledge Thank you
