About Us
Growing is in our nature. 50 years ago, we started life as a small family farm with a handful of people and a modest range of crops. Today, we’re a global farming and food business working thousands of acres and employing thousands of people around the world to grow, process, pack and market a range of fresh produce.
Supplying our premium produce to some of the UK’s leading retailers and restaurants, we are very proud of what we do and how we do it. With our impressive green credentials, we truly are committed to sustainability, demonstrating continued investment in the latest technologies to help maintain our carbon neutral footprint.
The Role
This junior-level role offers a fantastic opportunity to begin a career in the fresh produce industry, supporting the wider Non-Retail Commercial Team at Barfoots. Working with some of the UK’s leading foodservice and wholesale customers, you’ll gain valuable insight into the commercial operations of a fast-paced, dynamic sector.
