We have a fantastic opportunity for anyone interested in developing their career in buying. Joining our team as a Category Assistant, you will be a valued part of the Commercial Department. You’ll support the Category Management team, adopting responsibility for our varied product lines and ensuring they are the number one choice for our customers.

You will see your product through its journey from its original source, anywhere in the world, right through to it being put onto the shelves in one of our branches. With day to day responsibilities including liaising with suppliers, creating information to go onto our product packaging and analysing the market to see what our customers want, you will gain valuable exposure to the commercial world and develop vital skills to build a successful career.

As a part of a hard working, dedicated team you will need the confidence to build relationships, be prepared to work at pace, hold your own under pressure and most of all not be afraid to get stuck in.

We are looking for individuals that are educated to degree level and can demonstrate strong learning agility. On top of your academic achievements and experience, we’re looking for a real interest in gaining exposure to the commercial side of our business as part of developing your career with us

What can we offer you? Our strong family values and 'cornerstones' lie at the heart of the success of our journey - from family business to forward thinking Company.
