From humble beginnings in Blackpool, B&M has grown into one of the UK’s leading variety and discount retailers. With over 750 stores, 35,000 colleagues, and more than 4 million customers visiting every week, our growth story is something we’re proud of.

Our Group now includes Heron Foods and B&M France, as we continue to expand across the UK and beyond. None of this would be possible without our “Best in Class” warehousing and logistics teams – the heartbeat of our business, keeping our shelves stocked and our customers happy.

COE Support Analyst – Runcorn Distribution Centre
