About LCR International
LCR International is a specialist retained executive search firm operating exclusively within the international fresh produce industry.
Think about the fresh fruit and vegetables you see on supermarket shelves every day, from berries and avocados to grapes and citrus. Behind those products are large, complex global businesses responsible for growing, packing and distributing them worldwide.
Our clients range from international farming operations and export businesses through to investment-backed platforms, and we help them hire the senior leaders responsible for running and scaling those organisations.
We have executed searches across 22 countries internationally and work with clients throughout Europe, the United States, Latin America, Africa and Asia-Pacific.
Alongside executive search, we also deliver competitor and market mapping projects, compensation and benefits benchmarking studies, organisational and succession insight work and strategic talent advisory support.
