About the Business:
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 6 years they have grown by a third to north of £45million turnover, 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.

This is a business focused on strong values and sustained growth so the focus on doing the right thing is a must.

Food experience is essential here. This is a business of foodies who have some of the most fantastic products in their categories sold to Tesco and Michelin starred restaurants. Category data and insight led working is key to continuing the customer success story they have here too and remember this is not a big business it’s more like a start up in nature, agility, speed and being able to don more than one hat is key here.
