Food Services
Bhs has been a highly motivating place for me to work. Within Food Services I manage the employee
restaurant in head office. We deliver an excellent range of products from breakfast, lunch,
beverages and snacks.
Bhs is one of the best known names on the high street and has a great working environment. Working
here has given me the opportunity to build good working relationships with colleagues and customers
and I am lucky to be working with such a supportive team. Career development is proactively encouraged here,
with lots of courses on offer no matter what job you are doing.
Janet - Food Services Manager
Since joining Bhs in 2002 as a Buyer for Food Services, my career has progressed from Buyer, to Senior Buyer
to Divisional Procurement Manager. My current role involves managing a team of Product Developers and
Technical/Buying Managers to develop and deliver a quality food offering for our instore restaurants and Coffee Lounges.
Working within the Food Services department offers me a role that is varied and challenging, but yet
personally rewarding; no day or week is the same. One minute I could be negotiating a million pound contract,
the other I could be tasting cakes and desserts (which is not good for the waist line), or sourcing new crockery
for the restaurants. The most rewarding aspect of my job is to see my team develop ideas from concept
through to finished products which customers will see and enjoy in our stores.
Our department has its own personality and the team enjoys the buzz that comes from hard work, enthusiasm
and a can do approach, a feeling you find across the whole of Bhs.
