About the role
Category Executive
There’s every chance you’ll have eaten our food but did you know we do the products you also eat it from so why not share our success and come and work for the Catering Supplies team? Bidfood is a leading wholesale foodservice distributor and the preferred supplier for over 60,000 customers across the UK, ranging from pubs to schools, from restaurants to care homes and everything in between.
From Lands End to John O’Groats, whether our customers want just a paper cup for their coffee or a full range of catering supplies, we’ll supply their needs. We work as a team to provide every catering option from quality ingredients to finished meals, including a number of own brand ranges as well as all the big brands. We believe in our products, and we know that our people are so very important in our success.
This is a key role, focusing on providing effective, timely and high quality admin services to all of our internal colleagues and your passion for excellent service will shine through. Not only that, but you will seek to implement improvements to communication and processes to raise standards even further.
You will also have a range of commercial tasks including assisting the buyers with the implementation of price increases, running reports for the team to track performance and assisting with the set-up of new lines and delisted lines, which will include liaising with our internal colleagues and our suppliers. With this in mind, you will be required to have clear communication skills and your proactive and collaborative nature will ensure you can take on and resolve tasks as they arise and other administration requirements.
Your attention to detail and organisation will be excellent, backed up with strong IT and commercial skills.
Success in this role will utilise all your influence and impact with colleagues right across the category to ensure a shared commitment to the highest standards of service.
If this is you, we look forward to hearing from you.
