Company Information
Green Origins is a leading European superfoods business based on the outskirts of Sheffield. Established in 2008, we import a range of 80+ superfoods direct from growers around the world and sell them under our own brands, in bulk, direct to consumers via Retailers/Amazon and as private label. We are the BRAND behind many UK and European superfood brands.
We joined the Humble Group last year and hold both the entrepreneurial aspects of an SME while having the benefits of being part of a larger organisation.
The plant-based nutrition sector is growing exponentially and we’ve been fortunate enough to be part of that growth. Over the last 7 years we’ve grown from a small 2-man start-up to a 50+ person business with multiple international distributors, several of our own retail brands and a wide range of high street brands that rely on us for superfood ingredients and private label. Our business growth has been recognised by two Queens Awards and the 2019 “Grocer Food & Drink Fast 50” where we were placed at 19th in their list of the fastest growing food brands. In addition to this we have been awarded over 10 Great Taste Awards.
Key facts aside, the most important thing is who we are and what we are trying to achieve. We are on a mission to make healthy eating easier, to make a meaningful social impact and to become the leading superfood business. Our culture is friendly, fast-paced, informal yet professional. The work environment can be demanding due to the steep growth curve we’re on and the changes that entails, but this can be tremendously rewarding if you’re ambitious, want to learn and develop and have the energy to make a real impact.
Social impact and sustainability are not a bolt-on for the business, they are at the core of what we do. We have been working with one of our key charity partners - Rainforest Concern - alongside other charity projects that support communities both local and those within our supply chain.
This is a genuinely exciting time to get involved in superfoods/plant-based nutrition and join a business that has ambitious plans for this sector. If you’re up for the challenge get in touch.
