The Job:
This role will see you working closely with the businesses buying and selling policies, procuring produce and getting to know the lead times associated with the speed of the industry. You will be working closely with the Commercial team maintaining stock and waste figures to keep the business figures up to date and relevant. You will also be working to give insight into specific business categories that you are responsible for.

You will also be working closely with growers in the UK and abroad, establishing links and communications. Setting up meetings and building relationships is a corner stone of this role and will benefit you and the business the more successful relationships you have.

Brilliant numeracy, Microsoft Office and relationship building skills will help you with growers and within the Commercial team.

You will also have a great attitude to working, keeping service levels high and able to work away from the office and potentially travel abroad where necessary.

This would be an ideal first step for a graduate looking to get into the food and fresh produce industry but also a great entry level position for someone looking for their first role in the sector.
