"Opportunities like this are rare"

Opportunities like this are rare, and they attract great people. I like working in a company where I can influence and where I’m trusted. It’s great for your career as you can learn new things and step into exciting new opportunities that ensures you gain experience quickly. There’s little hierarchy, it’s just about getting things done and making it happen. We listen to everyone and we all have a right to speak up and share ideas. Work/life balance is important to me, but I didn’t need to worry – we don’t spend a long time in meetings, our discussions are fruitful, and we move forward quickly and easily. When our work is done, it’s done. We don’t spend hours creating presentations and we don’t hide behind emails. We talk to each other, to our customers and to our suppliers and we network. This place is unique, it’s lean and the pace makes me feel alive.

"Upfield is a once in a lifetime opportunity"

Upfield is a once in a lifetime opportunity to work for a growth company that has a powerful purpose for a better plant-based future at its heart. I wanted an adventure and I got one. It is sometimes a rollercoaster, but it’s what I came here for. I enjoy the energy that people bring to work, the pace, the focus, the can-do attitude. There are new people joining all the time, and we deliver as a team. It’s up to each of us how we work, and I can plan for what works for me both professionally and personally. There’s very little office politics and it means we count on each other and trust each other to do well. We make decisions quickly and put the extra effort in to meet our targets. What’s next? In 9 months everything will be different again. We are continually improving how we work and what we do.

“The Upfield purpose and a better plant-based future fitted with my personal values.”

I hadn't heard of Upfield but I did know about the great brands. The Upfield purpose and a better plant-based future fitted with my personal values. It’s so unique to have so many people with such drive and motivation. Everyone has this passion for Upfield, I’ve never seen this anywhere before. This is the right place for you if you want to try a lot of new things and you like to see change happening straight away. If you want everything set out for you, this isn’t the right place! Every day I feel excited to go to work, and that’s not something you can take for granted.

"This is a company I can grow in, and I believe in."

I was happy in my previous company, but I wanted to work somewhere with a great culture, and learn from great people. I wanted to be part of a company that values flexibility. Upfield has been great at helping me be a mom, a wife, a friend and an employee. How you work to deliver matters. This is a fun business to work in, with a lot of growth opportunities. I’m surrounded by smart, talented, kind and hard-working people. This is a company I can grow in, and I believe in.

There are spacious meeting rooms, comfortable sofas and coffee areas. Spaces are designed for co-creation or focused work. It’s easy to pop out to the shops or to grab lunch, and we are ideally located just a two-minute walk from the station.
