Published: 2 months ago

We're Nichols plc - the home of Vimto, and there is no other business quite like ours! We think this is a special place to work, even if we do say so ourselves! For example, our last survey found 97% of our employees feel we really care about their health and wellbeing, and the same number think we have open and honest communication at all levels‿

 

We have been making life taste better since 1908. At the heart of everything is our rich family heritage, an unrelenting ambition to keep innovating, & a true pride in who we are. It is our team of talented people that make us. We are actively looking for difference & we are working hard to make sure all our practices are inclusive.

  • Following all quality processes and procedures, reporting any potential hazards or near misses to promote a culture of right first time
