As a signatory to the Armed Forces Covenant, Farmfoods recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant by providing employment opportunities for Armed Forces leavers and veterans, supporting the employment of partners and spouses of serving personnel, striving to offer a degree of flexibility in leave arrangements for Service spouses and by supporting and promoting service in Reserve forces.
Farmfoods is a seventy year old family business. When you join us you will become a part of achieving our mission to deliver the simplest, best value, friendliest shops in town… different to anywhere else and much better.
We have 4 depots, Bristol, Cumbernauld, Warrington & Solihull and over 350 shops nationwide.
We are a family business, not a corporate monster. Our culture is built around our values of Hard Work, Trust, Respect and Positive Attitude and our belief that You Are In Control. At every level in Farmfoods you are trusted and expected to take responsibility for yourself, your work and your colleagues. This is important because in everything we do we remember that it’s our customers who pay our wages, and all our teams play a part in serving them.
I spent over 13 years as an infantry solider and had my class 2 licence when I was in the Army. When I left the Army, I decided to work towards my class 1 licence on the weekends while getting used to civilian life again.
I joined Farmfoods as a delivery driver and thoroughly enjoyed my time out on the road visiting different shops. I didn’t come out of the Army with a lot of qualifications recognised on ‘Civvy Street’ and it was hard work to begin with however almost 20 years later, I am now a driver trainer at our Warrington Depot.
My advice to anyone leaving the forces and thinking about retail or distribution is to give it a chance, the transition can take time and won’t happen overnight but Farmfoods will support you and give you a chance at a second career.
Our teams across all locations—from our shops and warehouses to our central offices—play a vital role in serving our customers and delivering value.
Whether working directly with customers, in distribution or providing essential support functions, we all contribute to creating a positive experience.
We value hard work, efficiency, and a positive attitude. We look for individuals who are ready to contribute to a team environment and are passionate about providing excellent service.
While experience in relevant fields is beneficial, we provide comprehensive training to equip our employees for success in their roles.
There are three stages to our recruitment process, each of which is designed to let you show off your best and to help us find the best people for our team:
Submit your online application. You will be asked to tell us a little bit about yourself and upload a CV.
If shortlisted, you may receive a text message asking you to call a member of our recruitment team. They will ask you some further questions to confirm your suitability for the position. If successful we will then book you in for a face to face interview.
The face to face interview will help the hiring manager get to know you a bit better, as well as you getting to know us.
