Help us unlock value from surplus stock and create real social impact
About us:
At Company Shop Group (part of Biffa), we’re transforming the way surplus is valued and unlocking its full potential.
As the UK’s largest commercial redistributor of surplus food and household products, we partner with some of the biggest names across retail, manufacturing, food service and logistics creating value from stock that might otherwise go to waste.
But we’re more than redistribution.
Through our Company Shop stores and our award-winning social enterprise Community Shop, we’re building stronger individuals, more confident communities, and a more sustainable future.
We’re proud to be a business that delivers commercial success and meaningful social impact, a good business doing good.

This is an exciting opportunity for a highly organised and commercially minded administrator who enjoys working in a fast-paced retail environment, analysing data, coordinating stock movement, and collaborating across multiple teams.

- Working closely with Supply Chain, Transport, Operations, and Technical teams to ensure timely movement of products.
- Supporting the development and continuous improvement of allocation processes and strategies.
- Identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce operational costs.
Data & Performance Insight
- Using daily and weekly sales reports to support allocation and pricing decisions.
- Analysing performance data to ensure stock is placed in the right location at the right price.
