About The Company

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 the years, our expanding business has stayed true to Albert's spirit of innovation and passion for quality, and we've built on our experience.

Today, we proudly supply potatoes from our network of farmers and growers across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Jersey.

Company Culture

Over 70 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.

We want Albert Bartlett to be a world famous household brand, renowned for quality and expertise in own label and branded potatoes and potato products.

We aim to be an innovative and improving company that exceeds our customers' expectations while operating in an environmentally responsible and sustainable way.

We can only achieve this by investing in the best people and some of the latest job vacancies at Albert Bartlett are listed below.
