Working in Manufacturing

By Louise Adams


What does FMCG mean?

The term FMCG basically means retail goods that get 'used up' quickly, within a number of days or weeks. The term FMCG is short for 'fast moving consumer goods.' FMCG's differ to goods such as kitchen appliances and other durable major appliances that are not usually replaced within one year.

Fast Moving Consumer Goods have a very short shelf life due to two reasons in particular. The first reason relates to the fact consumers need the goods quickly and frequently, the second is that the goods are often highly perishable therefore they need to be replaced quickly.

Fast moving consumer goods always have an extremely short shelf life and therefore certain types of consumer goods such as foods (meat, dairy, fruit, veg) and toiletries and alcohol as well as cleaning products have a fast turnaround.

Customers will view FMCG as being things they purchase frequently, things they don't really need to think too hard about buying and things that are low in price everyday items.

Marketers often think of these goods as being high in volume, low in value and having an incredibly high turnover in stock.

If you are looking for a job within this industry then it makes good sense to register with a specialist recruitment consultant. Registering with a FMCG recruiter will give you access to jobs which you may not have already have come across. Often FMCG companies allow recruiters to work on vacancies on an exclusive basis meaning the jobs won't be advertised elsewhere.

Applying for roles through a specialist recruiter means that you will stand a better chance in getting your CV noticed. In the current job climate you may find that you apply for a job that hundreds of other people have also applied for, so using a recruiter will ensure that your CV gets pushed to the top of the pile.
