Leadership-driven giving back to the food & drink industry
For True North Talent, success has always meant more than filling roles.
As interim and permanent recruitment specialists serving the Food & Drink Manufacturing industry, their work is rooted in the people and communities that keep the sector running. Giving back to that same industry has long been part of their approach.
As Amy Griffith, Managing Director, explains:
“We give back to the industry in any way we can - particularly food and drink-related causes.”
Before partnering with Work for Good, True North Talent had already built strong relationships with food redistribution charities, including FareShare and The Bread and Butter Thing, supporting them both financially and through hands-on volunteering.
It was through FareShare that Amy and her team were introduced to Work for Good - a simple, compliant way to connect charitable giving directly to commercial activity.
Today, every successful placement made by True North Talent funds 200 meals for people experiencing food insecurity.
This sales-linked approach means that business growth directly translates into social impact - turning everyday recruitment outcomes into tangible support for communities across the UK.
True North Talent communicates this commitment openly, through general marketing activity, speaking to clients, and a dedicated page on their website - occasionally using the Work for Good logo to reinforce transparency and trust.
While impact has always been the primary motivation, Emma Symonds, Director, has noticed that purpose does resonate commercially too.
“We do see this have a positive impact on the business.”
Crucially, embedding giving into the business hasn’t added complexity.
“The ease of set up and making donations has been key.”
For True North Talent, Work for Good has enabled a long-held desire to give back - in a way that aligns with their sector, their values, and their leadership philosophy.
