Recruitment specialist Lynda Ward has revealed that jobs within the pet industry are on the rise but disappointingly wages are still below those in other industries...

Lynda's company Pet Trade Solutions is reporting an upswing in the number of jobs in the pet industry.

“This is the most mobile that the market has been for over a year, with companies feeling more confident to take on more staff due to the long-awaited upturn in the economy," said Lynda.

"The South East of England remains the most popular for Area Sales Manager roles, with Export or International Sales Manager roles coming a close second.

"On the downside salaries are still lagging behind other industries such as the human food sector, and the pet trade really needs to re-assess its offering in order to keep our best people and also to attract new blood.”

Lynda is always happy to personally advise on any aspects of recruitment and marketing strategy and can be contacted on 07946 743784 or at lyndaward@pettradesolutions.com
