Recruitment

Working at Brindisa

Brindisa excels in importing the best of Spanish foods and gastronomy into Britain, importing hundreds of products from dozens of suppliers. From Iberico hams to prepared pulses, saffron stamens to exquisite chocolates; the one unalterable criterion is quality - a guiding principle of Brindisa's.

Brindisa's success is built on its people. People who work here are not only good at what they do, they are passionate about the products we represent. This is underpinned by a culture of honesty and respect for everyone who works here.

The dedication of Brindisa's people is demonstrated through our year-on-year growth and ongoing retail development. Generally, we recruit as we expand and consequently we look for people who will bring talent and will fit in well with our culture. People who work here tend to stay and, in return for their loyalty and real contribution, the company supports them in their business growth as can be visibly demonstrated by the career progression of many Brindisa employees.

We are an equal opportunities employer and, with some of our vacancies, being able to speak Spanish is a clear advantage.
