At Morrisons, we’re refreshingly different. The UK’s 2nd largest food manufacturer and most integrated food retailer, we’ve our own bakery, cooked meat factory, cheese packaging facilities, fish processing plants and more.
Source of expertise
Our team of 340 people decide what we sell and at what price. We negotiate deals with suppliers. We listen to what brands and products our customers want. And we look for the best local produce while tracking down products around the world to meet changing tastes.
Own brands. Value brands. Global brands. We take great pride in them all. We also offer you the chance to specialise whether fashion, fruit or frozen food is your passion.
