MacArthur Recruitment Ltd is a specialist talent partner focused on the food production and seafood supply chain, connecting skilled people with employers across aquaculture, processing, cold chain logistics, and commercial distribution. Drawing on deep domain knowledge of categories such as Scottish salmon (gutted, fillets, smoked), fresh fish (haddock, cod, tuna, sword, halibut, sea bass, sea bream, trout, plaice), shellfish (langoustines, mussels, razors, clams, brown crabs, king scallops, winkles, cockles, lobsters, pasteurised crabmeat), and smoked lines (smoked haddock, cod, kippers, mackerel, coley), the firm understands the speed, seasonality, and compliance demands that define seafood operations. Its consultants recruit for permanent, temporary, and contract roles spanning production operatives and supervisors, quality and technical (HACCP, BRCGS, microbiology, traceability), engineering and maintenance (planned and reactive in chilled and wet environments), health and safety, planning and scheduling, procurement, logistics and warehousing, and commercial functions including account management, export sales, and category. By translating operational language into hiring outcomes, MacArthur Recruitment Ltd helps processors, wholesalers, and retailers build resilient teams that meet daily yield, giveaway, and on time in full targets while safeguarding product integrity from intake through filleting, smoking, packing, and dispatch. The company partners with clients to map workflows, identify bottlenecks around shift patterns and peak periods, and design staffing plans that balance productivity with compliance, whether scaling lines for shellfish surges or maintaining continuity in smoked and marinated product ranges.

Since its incorporation in 2012, the firm has focused on building long term client relationships and reports repeat business levels consistently above 75 percent, a reflection of its straightforward, inclusive and respectful approach to hiring. Melbreck supports employers of all sizes in core manufacturing and engineering markets as well as electronics, embedded systems and broader technology, sourcing professionals for roles such as electronic design engineer, firmware developer, quality manager, sales manager and engineering manager, including positions in aerospace and industrial R&D.
