Who are we?Somerfield is a food retail chain with big ambitions: we want to become Britain’s favourite local grocery shop. We plan to open another 250 shops between 2008 and the end of 2010. We’re passionate about offering the seven million customers who visit our stores every week what they want, when they want it. Fresher foods, friendlier service, lower prices, improved availability and a wider range of products to choose from – that’s Somerfield. We’ve around 900 stores in market towns, city centres, even the tiniest of villages, and our network spans the UK from Wick to Lands End, Anglesey to the Isle of Wight. But wherever our stores are located, one thing remains constant: we’re always right at the heart of local communities. It takes over 40,000 dedicated people to provide the customer experience we take pride in. Another 800 work at our Bristol Support Centre – they spend their days supporting the stores and helping our people achieve their full potential. Where we’re going At the moment we’re undergoing a phase of dynamic repositioning, making major changes and improvements. We’re focused on fulfilling a number of promises to our customers: • Giving them what they want, when they want it • Offering basic items at the best price locally • Making prices understandable and trustworthy • Offering a quick, easy, friendly service • And finally, making sure our colleagues are always friendly, engaging and helpful at all times. Whether we’re offering convenience and quality at great prices in our petrol station forecourts (we’ve won ‘Best Convenience Forecourt Retailer’ for 2008) or providing more than you might expect at our larger local supermarket, we plan to do it better, simpler and faster than the rest. After all, the convenience market’s continually growing, and we want to be right at the forefront of all that expansion. How we do things To put it simply, we’re committed to building a better Somerfield every single day. Challenging ourselves, ensuring that we do things better, simpler and faster tomorrow than we did today. Join us and you can look forward to being involved, developed and empowered. Though we always encourage bright ideas and real innovation, we’ll expect you to deliver the basics first. You can expect leadership instead of management and you can look ahead to discovering places you may not find on your own: we’ll give you the tools and belief to get there. What’s important to us Customers. Without them, we’d be lost. So every single day, we challenge ourselves to more than meet their needs, delivering better, simpler, faster service at the value and quality they expect. But our customers aren’t the only important ones. Join us as a colleague, and you can be sure we’ll make you feel valued. Why? Because it’s people like you who make us who we are. Though you’ll need drive, focus and a real ‘winner’s’ attitude, we’ll reward your dedication with plentiful opportunities for progression, a commitment to celebrating success and plenty of ‘thank yous’. What’s more, we know our people work to live rather than live to work. Our policies on career break, flexible working, maternity, paternity, adoptive leave and parental leave are just a few examples of how we help our people find their perfect work/life balance.
