Warehouse Operative (food)
A bit about cheesegeek
We do cheese. But better.
The self styled Modern Cheesemonger, we operate predominantly online sending out recklessly good looking boxes filled with award winning cheese. Billed as the Netflix of Fromage, our sweet spot is subscriptions where we’re able to lead merry customers on a journey through the cheese universe.
Whilst we’re official ‘cheese heads’, in reality we dance on the line between cheese and technology. Great cheese has been around for donkey’s years - but we’re now taking it to the masses with some of the smartest tech around. We’ve rather handily coined this ‘Cheesetech’.
We’ve grown fast since starting out from our founder’s kitchen just over 5 years ago. Now based in Raynes Park, we’re sending out literally tonnes of cheese each month, growing a wholesale division and building out a broad affiliate network. But we’re not stopping there. 92% of the UK population eat cheese each week...we’re on a mission to get more of these people eating better cheese.
Simply put, our ambition is to be game-changers, and to take cheese retail to a new level. Think cheese, think cheesegeek.
