The Company:

We’re a family-owned company and the UK’s leading supplier of potatoes. Our story began in 1948, when Albert Bartlett started our family tradition of selling good-quality produce by setting up a beetroot-boiling operation in Coatbridge, Scotland.

Nine years later, Albert’s experience and expertise helped him grow the business, and along with his two sons, Jimmy and Alex, he found a new home for their flourishing company in Airdrie, Scotland. On that very same site, we made history when we became the first factory in Britain to pre-pack carrots in a plastic bag.

Over 75 years since Albert started the business, we remain proudly independent and the fourth generation of the Bartlett family is now working in the company. Our headquarters are in Airdrie, only four miles or so from our founder’s original business.

The Candidate:

  • A degree in agriculture or a related subject, or equivalent practical experience
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills
  • A proactive, hands-on approach with strong attention to detail
  • Comfortable working independently and as part of a small, focused team
  • A full UK driving licence is essential.

The Package:

  • Company vehicle included
  • Pension plan
  • Training and Development.
