Job Description
Who are we
Abel & Cole has pioneered organic ethical and sustainable food delivery for over 30 years. Doing things better is our bread and butter; from saving over 60 million plastic bags by using reusable boxes for our food deliveries to finding alternatives to plastic long before it hit the headlines. We are forever challenging ourselves to find the most positive way to do business and want everyone to eat organic because its one way to save the future. Its these values that enabled us to become B Corp certified; an optional audit weve gone through to recognise how we put people and planet before profit as well as help us find room for further improvement.
Were looking for more people to join our team of over 600 to share our passion for doing the right thing even bigger and better than we do a fast paced and competitive market we know its our people who make the difference. Weve learnt how important it is to recognise develop and promote from within; and that trusting people lets them come up with the best ideas and that helps our entrepreneurial spirit to thrive.
