About us
Company Shop Group is the largest commercial redistributor of surplus food and household products in the UK, enabling some of the biggest retailers, manufacturers, food service and logistics providers to unlock value from surplus stock, which may have otherwise gone to waste.
The surplus we handle is redistributed through our Company Shop stores and our award-winning social enterprise Community Shop where we build stronger individuals and more confident communities.
Working with our partners, we deliver an incredible impact and we're proud to be a good business doing good.
We’re on the hunt for a brilliantly organised, supremely discreet, and endlessly proactive Executive Assistant to join our team at Company Shop Group. This is not just a diary management job — it’s a high-impact role at the very heart of our business. You’ll be the linchpin between our MD, Executive Team, and the wider business, ensuring that everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
If you're known for your unflappable professionalism, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and love being two steps ahead, you might just be the person we’re looking for.

* Act as a trusted brand ambassador, professionally representing the MD and Company Shop Group both internally and externally.
* Handle confidential communications, board packs, and high-level reports with discretion and accuracy.
* Own and drive key tasks and projects, often before being asked — you’re already on it!
* Coordinate travel, meetings, events, and ensure everyone is in the right place, at the right time, with the right information.
* Support and energise our leadership team by keeping everything ticking over behind the scenes.
What You’ll Bring:
* Proven experience supporting C-suite or multiple Directors in a complex, fast-paced environment.
* Exceptional organisational skills, with the ability to multitask, pre-empt, and prioritise like a pro.
* Confidentiality and professionalism are second nature to you.
* You’re highly tech-savvy, with advanced MS Office (and ideally Co-pilot/AI tools) skills.
* Strong judgement and the ability to act with discretion when dealing with sensitive matters.
* A natural relationship builder who can liaise with internal and external stakeholders at all levels.
* Confident taking minutes, preparing board-level documentation, and driving actions to completion.
What's in it for you:
* Excellent core working hours: 9:30am–4:30pm, with flexible options available
* Free membership to Company Shop for you and 10 x nominees
* Annual Flu Injections, high street & leisure vouchers, and on-site parking
* Onsite café, Free Tea & Coffee, and Free Fruit Friday
* Employee Assistance Programme – Grocery Aid
* Eligible for Costco membership, Cycle 2 Work, and UK Fuel card discounts
* Contributory pension scheme with a comprehensive benefits package including life cover and wellbeing support.
