At Company Shop Group, our operations teams keep everything moving – and behind every great operation is someone brilliantly organised, detail-driven and always one step ahead.

About us:

At Company Shop Group (part of Biffa), we’re transforming the way surplus is valued.

As the UK’s largest commercial redistributor of surplus food and household products, we work with some of the biggest names in retail, manufacturing, food service and logistics unlocking value from stock that might otherwise go to waste.

But we’re more than redistribution.

Through our Company Shop stores and our award-winning social enterprise Community Shop, we’re building stronger individuals, more confident communities, and a more sustainable future.

We’re proud to be a business that delivers commercial success and meaningful social impact. A good business doing good.
