About the Company
This is a smashing role with a top class, family owned, historic, British premium food company. If you are a foodie then this is without a doubt one for you. This is a business and set of people who leave no stone unturned in delivering unwavering quality to our supermarket shelves & to us the consumers.
A business that has been in operation for a century with nostalgic brands and some phenomenal new success stories across retail are looking at their next stage of growth. They have already invested significant capex in a new factory, further warehousing & infrastructure. In the last 3 years they have grown immensely, delivering significant profit which has led to this self funded, seven figure investment keeping this business debt free.
The next port of call, now the infrastructure is in place, is to add to their brilliant team who boast resumes from the likes of, Unilever, Brakes, & AB World Foods. They are a great bunch who enjoy the thrill of the commercial chase, growing sustainable & robust businesses and empowering people to really deliver best in class consumer products.
