Job Description : Who are we?

Abel & Cole has pioneered organic, ethical and sustainable food delivery for over 30 years. Doing things better is our bread and butter; from saving over 60 million plastic bags by using reusable boxes for our food deliveries, to finding alternatives to plastic long before it hit the headlines. We are forever challenging ourselves to find the most positive way to do business and want everyone to eat organic because it’s one way to save the future. It’s these values that enabled us to become B Corp certified; an optional audit we’ve gone through to recognise how we put people and planet before profit, as well as help us find room for further improvement.

Our achievements would not have been possible without fantastic IT systems and a dedicated IT team behind them. In addition to using and supporting Microsoft Windows for our client and server infrastructure, we develop and maintain our own bespoke website and other business applications in-house. Across this diverse architecture our internal support team is the first point of call for everything that we need to run the business, and allows us to offer customers a unique service including flexible repeat orders and individually tailored boxes of fresh fruit and veg.
We’re looking for more people to join our team of over 700, to share our passion for doing the right thing even bigger and better than we do already. In a fast paced and competitive market, we know it’s our people who make the difference. We’ve learnt how important it is to recognise, develop and promote from within; and that trusting people lets them come up with the best ideas and that helps our entrepreneurial spirit to thrive.
