Where we work
Support centres
Our support centres are based in Eccles, Deeside, Wellingborough, Hemel, Watford, and High Wycombe. From an IT Manager stabilising our systems, a Finance Manager navigating profit margins and commercial growth, to a People Administrator making sure we all get paid, our support centres help keep the business ticking over, and are full of pretty impressive people.
Branches
Our branches are where our customers can shop our tonnes of products through both our delivery and click collect service. Whether you’re helping our delivery team prepare the deliveries or serving customers face-to-face, there’s always something to do. You’ll find roles such as Branch Management, Supervisors, Front of House, Pickers and Branch Assistants to name a few, which makes for a fun environment where you are always learning and developing your skills.
Distribution centres
Our distribution centres deliver stock to our branches, and directly to customers too, which can include everything from national food and restaurant chains to small convenience stores. You’ll find roles available in Operations, Transport and Warehouse, including Pickers and Managers and HGV jobs. Our distribution centres are located in Didcot, Fareham, Hatfield, Haydock, Hemel, Magor, South Elmsall, Thamesmead and Wellingborough.
