Driving Sustainability: Expert Recruitment for Agriculture, ESG & Renewables
ESG, sustainability, and renewable energy are rapidly evolving fields, playing a pivotal role in how businesses—particularly in agriculture—respond to environmental challenges, regulatory pressures, and social expectations. At De Lacy Executive Recruitment, we connect organisations with talented professionals who are shaping the transition to a greener, more responsible future—from ESG analysts and sustainability consultants to renewable energy engineers and commercial leaders.
With a strong foundation in the agricultural sector, we work with farming businesses, supply chain operators, agri-tech firms, and rural enterprises committed to reducing their environmental impact and improving long-term resilience. Our reach also extends to companies in energy, construction, and manufacturing, helping to embed sustainability across a range of industries.

Client Testimonials
Harry and the De Lacy team recently assisted us in the recruitment of a Fam Business Manager; the candidates that were presented were all excellent and the co-ordination of the recruiting process was faultless
I was happy with the level of service provided to me by De Lacy Executive. I was provided with a good number of well qualified candidates in a reasonable timeframe. De Lacy were quick to provide a shortlist of suitable candidates, they listened to my feedback and adjusted their search accordingly
I have always found De Lacy to be dedicated to helping us find new talent to add to our team, taking the extra time to truly understand our business and our values to help us find the right fit, we have made some really fantastic appointments over the years and in what are often really challenging recruitment areas.
De Lacy are my No1 recruiter of choice, their service and expertise in the industry has continually impressed me. They are always on hand and commitment to our success.
De Lacy is the cream in recruitment
I have been engaged with De Lacy recruitment, in particular Lauren Holloway, for several years, which has always given me a rewarding experience. It is an organisation that specialises in agriculturally based opportunities, offering professional liaison between job seekers and employers. They are precise and exact in representing the employer and potential candidates in a professional manner, resulting in a rewarding experience for both. Their attention to the details allows an accurate job description, offering potential candidates a clear understanding of the requirements, ensuring alignment and an enhanced interview experience.
As a recruiter sceptic due to past experiences, De Lacy had quite the mountain to climb. However, they took the time to understand us, our business, and exactly who we needed for the role. They actively sought out strong candidates, listened to feedback, and ultimately provided us with a number of excellent options. Given how niche our requirements were, we were genuinely impressed.
