Abel & Cole is the sustainable online grocer, delivering excellent quality, fresh food to switched on households since 1988.
Over the years we’ve developed close, trusting relationships with farmers and makers, whilst
helping customers enjoy and understand sustainable, seasonal eating. We minimise food waste and unnecessary packaging – using boxes, not bags, since day one – and promote biodiversity and animal welfare alongside innovative, fair trade and organic farming.
Our staff, like our customers and our suppliers, are extremely important to us.
We are proud of our company culture, which combines friendliness, supportiveness and humour with outstanding levels of achievement at work. Our commitment to our staff and their development has helped shape the success of our company.
Each week, Riverford delivers outstanding organic food to around 65,000 homes across the UK. This takes loads of brilliant people, from veg growers and box packers to IT experts, and more besides.
We’re a friendly, forward-thinking bunch, and our core values run through everything we do. Riverford is employee owned, so working here makes you a ‘co-owner’ – and it’s not just a name! Everyone can play a part in shaping our business. Success means much more than just profits; we want this to be a place people enjoy coming to work, and a business our co-owners feel proud of.
In 2021, we were delighted to be awarded two-star Best Companies accreditation, recognising Riverford as an ‘outstanding’ place to work. We’re also proud to be a B Corp; a certification for ethical businesses who work not just for profit, but to benefit people and the planet.
