Your Career with Us

With over 90 years of heritage and a trading area that spans across England and Wales, A.F. Blakemore & Son Ltd is one of the UK’s most successful family owned companies. 

With nearly 8,000 employees we realise that our staff are our greatest asset, so we are committed to attracting, retaining and developing our people.  We offer competitive benefits packages that include healthcare, pensions, staff discounts and a wealth of employee volunteering activities. 

From entry level to senior management positions, we have opportunities at all levels throughout our organisation.  Areas of work are also incredibly diverse; as well as careers available in retail, wholesale, warehousing and logistics, we employ many in central functions such as Trading, Marketing, Finance and IT. 

For individuals who wish to progress within their roles, across the company or into more senior positions, we aim to provide support and development opportunities to prepare them for progression.  We have our very own in-house Learning & Development team and performance management system to assist us in achieving this goal.  

Whilst we have grown as an organisation, we have always tried hard to retain our family values in the workplace.  It is important to us that all of our employees uphold our core company values outlined in The Blakemore Way statement, and therefore we ask all applicants who wish to be considered for employment with A.F. Blakemore to demonstrate these behaviours in our recruitment process. 

Our employees come from many different backgrounds, and we are proud of our diverse workforce.  As an Equal Opportunities employer we recruit purely on the basis of skills and experience, without regard to sex, race, ethnic origin, nationality, marital status, age, religion, disability or sexual orientation.
