About us
Shopkeepers for over 125 years, we love providing our customers with a unique shopping experience. With nearly 500 stores across the UK, our retail colleagues work as one team to offer food essentials, great service, and a lively shopping environment. Our customers keep coming back because of our focus on freshness and quality, with more fresh food prepared in-store than any other supermarket. It’s challenging and fast-paced, but our friendly team loves going above and beyond for our customers.
At Morrisons, we believe in investing in our colleagues through industry-leading training programs. Many of our store managers started on the shop floor, understanding the business from the ground up. This experience helps them support colleagues and serve customers effectively.
