About us
About The Team
Feeding the Nation and making sure people can get the food they need wouldn't be possible without our incredible supply chain.
It's where we make sure our shelves are full and looking great without creating waste. It means keeping our depot teams closely linked with our suppliers. It's about growing our online business, including our partnership with Ocado. And it involves building our wholesale function as we work with Amazon to supply external businesses rather than just our stores.
What makes our supply chain unique is that we don't just sell food - we make it too, which means we work alongside our own manufacturing teams as well as suppliers.
And with a day to day workload that includes merchandising, development, data science, and more, it's busy, it's fast-moving, it's ambitious, and it's an incredible place to work, right at the heart of Morrisons.
