Company Background:
Abel & Cole is an award-winning online food retailer with its head office based in South West London. Famous for our seasonal organic fruit & veg boxes, we deliver a wide range of excellent organic food to over 40,000 people’s homes every week across London and the South, the Midlands and the Northwest. No air freighting, no silly packaging, no nasty chemicals – just great food produced by people who really love what they do.
Our achievements would not have been possible without fantastic IT systems and a dedicated IT team behind them. In addition to using and supporting Microsoft Windows for our client and server infrastructure, we develop and maintain our own bespoke website and other business applications in-house. Across this diverse architecture our internal support team is the first point of call for everything that we need to run the business, and allows us to offer customers a unique service including flexible repeat orders and individually tailored boxes of fresh fruit and veg.
We consider ourselves bold, irreverent, genuine, friendly and honest, representing a refreshing alternative to supermarket shopping, but without being preachy – this is true of our brand and our internal culture, which combines friendliness, supportiveness and humour with outstanding levels of achievement at work.
