Why did you choose Samworth Brothers?
I chose Samworth Brothers through an agency as at the time I didn’t have a full time job. Twenty five years later I would never have expected I would love it this much and still be continuing my Samworth Brothers journey.
My current role allows me to get out and about around the business, as well as interact with our suppliers. I am also given the opportunity to go abroad with my work.
