From humble beginnings as a tight-knit family operation, we’ve grown into a prestigious kitchenware retailer with over 60 stores nationally, from Aberdeen to Exeter. We’ve done that by always staying ahead of the pack and looking at things in our own way.
When the home freezing boom happened in the 70s, we anticipated a kitchenware revolution. Now, we’re investing millions to ensure that our online offering is top notch, and that our retail stores can offer an experience worthy of a visit. That innovative spirit coupled with our intense customer focus has been the story of our success—work with us and it could be yours too.
There are many benefits to being part of the Lakeland team. Other than being part of a huge and happy working family, our colleagues are rewarded with a competitive salary, discretionary bonus scheme and a group personal pension plan.
There are 29 days’ paid holiday (including bank holidays) and generous discounts on our products. We offer a great retail environment, and the chance to be part of a team who like to work and socialise together.
