We’re proud to partner with The Bread and Butter Thing (TBBT) — one of the UK’s fastest-growing food redistribution charities. Since 2016, TBBT has supported over 100,000 people through 145+ community hubs across the North of England. Their mission is simple: make life more affordable, build stronger communities, and reduce food waste.
With an annual income of ~£6m and ambitious plans to scale nationally, TBBT is transforming how surplus food is redistributed.
The Role
This is a relationship-driven role at the heart of TBBT’s supply chain. It is less about logistics and more about Strategic Account Management.
As Client Relationship Manager, you’ll take ownership of key partnerships with suppliers, manufacturers and retailers, ensuring they feel valued, engaged, and confident in the social impact of working with TBBT.
