Who are we?Somerfield is a food retail chain dedicated to local, convenient, community retailing. Now as part of the Co-operative Group, we operate almost 3,000 stores across the UK and can be found in the heart of local market towns and communities nation-wide. The Co-operative own-brand food range, which is now in our stores, comprises great quality items made with honest and ethically sourced products. We are also the biggest supporter of Fair-trade with over 200 lines, which is why we are proud to be ranked the top ethical supermarket in the UK – proof of our commitment to responsible retailing. That’s why the Co-operative is ‘Good with Food’! The Co-operative Group as a whole employs over 120,000 people and we are proud of the commitment and passion our team provides. Where we’re going Since becoming part of the Co-operative Group we have created a strong fifth player in the UK grocery market, integrating strengths from both businesses to cement our position as the UK’s number one convenience retailer. We have doubled our share within the food retail market, and have grown from 800 stores to almost 3,000 in the UK. Our top priority moving forwards is to integrate the two companies as smoothly and efficiently as possible – we are embarking on an exciting journey of change and development likely to continue into early 2011. This is something that will bring real scale benefits, enabling us to bring better value and service to our customers. There is a strong strategic fit between the two fascias and we look forward to creating a single business, combining the inherent strengths of both Somerfield and the Co-operative Food. We believe our future has never been more exciting and are fully committed to ensuring that the Co-operative and Somerfield are better together and remain, as ever, good with food! What’s important to us Customers. Without them, we’d be lost. So every single day, we challenge ourselves to more than meet their needs, delivering better, simpler, faster service at the value and quality they expect. But our customers aren’t the only important ones. Join us as a colleague, and you can be sure we’ll make you feel valued. Why? Because it’s people like you who make us who we are. Though you’ll need drive, focus and a real ‘winner’s’ attitude, we’ll reward your dedication with plentiful opportunities for progression. View Store Vacancies | View Head Office Vacancies |
