Testimonies:

Field Sales Executive Birmingham:

Why did I Join BF?

I've been in the drinks industry for more than two decades, but the biggest thing that attracted me to BF specifically was the rich history and the stories behind the portfolio, it has an authenticity and a foundation that gives you huge confidence in the company itself.

What do I love most about my role?

It has to be the people. I've never worked anywhere with such a caring and just genuinely friendly group of people. It's been a brilliant experience from the start. Everyone is pushing to be better, but better as a company, not league tabling people against each other, which means we all share best practice and do what's right for the whole rather than being laser focused on our own targets at the detriment of the wider team.
