Are you passionate about developing people, shaping future leaders, and creating a culture where everyone can thrive? At Company Shop Group (CSG), we're on an exciting journey and we're looking for a dynamic Learning and Development Partner to help us build exceptional leadership capability across our business.

About Us

At Company Shop Group (part of Biffa), we're transforming the way surplus is valued and unlocking its full potential.

As the UK's largest commercial redistributor of surplus food and household products, we partner with some of the biggest names across retail, manufacturing, food service and logistics creating value from stock that might otherwise go to waste.
