We're Nichols plc - the home of Vimto, and there is no other business quite like ours

We have been making life taste better since 1908. As well as our refreshingly different Vimto taste, our varied brand portfolio spans the still, carbonated, post-mix and frozen drinks categories - so you will find us in your local supermarket, pub and leisure outlet. We also work with the UK’s leading food manufacturers to provide a truly unique range of products everyone loves.

At the heart of everything is our rich family heritage, an unrelenting ambition to keep innovating, and a true pride in who we are.

We’re well known for our famous purple drink it’s true, but it is our team of talented people that truly make us. We are actively always looking for difference and we are working hard to make sure all our practices are inclusive.

**ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY**:
We have an exciting opportunity to join our production team, where the working hours are predominantly Monday - Thursday (12-hour nights) starting at 6pm and finishing at 6am.
