Company Company Profile

This is an exciting time to be in the world of grocery retail; an industry worth nearly £200billion a year with Convenience retail commanding a whopping £40billion of this.

So what is Convenience retail?

Historically large format Supermarkets were the only option for shoppers, but we have moved away from this way of shopping in favour of local, smaller, convenient and community based stores. Our network of over 1000 independent convenience retailers is continually striving to meet the needs of these shoppers.

As the face of grocery retail continues to change we are nimble and dynamic enough to change with it and with a predicted 17% growth by 2023 Convenience retailing is where it is at!

Which brings us to our Mission...

We know that our graduates will go on to be our future business leaders and so our graduate schemes are tailored to provide you with all the skills and experiences you need to succeed in the future!

The experience you’ll gain through our programmes will ensure you have considerable interaction with your colleagues and build in-depth, specialist business knowledge meaning we will come to rely on your sound assessment of sometimes fairly complex operational or specialist matters.

...and we're there to support you every step of the way!

We offer focussed support and development equipping you to be comfortable making independent judgements in day to day matters as well as those that involve more complexity.

You will have a tailored development plan, built just for you - Starting on day 1 and running through your first 2 years with us and beyond!

As part of your extensive support network you’ll have a Buddy, a Mentor and our People Development Team, who will be there to support you.
