Single-malt distillery · Easter Ross, since 2019
Visitor-experience hosts and tour guides who can host international visitors with calm and explain whisky-making accurately and unpretentiously, in real time, all day.
Independent literary publisher · Edinburgh, since 2007
People who read widely and argue gently. We hire editors, designers, and operators who can hold a manuscript and a P&L in the same hand — and who understand that taste is built, not declared.
Public-sector engineering · Cardiff & remote
Engineers who care about how software actually lands inside an organisation. We build for local government, the NHS, and arms-length bodies. We hire pragmatic people who can explain trade-offs to non-technical sponsors without condescension.
Family-owned luxury department store rooted in Newcastle since 1882
Restaurant group · Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield
Front-of-house and kitchen staff who treat hospitality as a craft, not a stopgap. We're slowly building a group of small neighbourhood restaurants across the north and we hire people we'd happily promote within two years.
Tidal & offshore engineering · Aberdeen
Engineers, technicians, and field operators who like cold weather and clear documentation. We work in genuinely difficult conditions, so we hire for calm, for thoroughness, and for the willingness to be wrong in front of colleagues.
Independent bookshop chain · London, Bath, Norwich
Booksellers and store managers who read constantly, recommend confidently, and treat a shop floor as a craft. We hire people who would be happy here for ten years.
Iconic employee-owned department store group headquartered in London
Worsted weaving mill · Huddersfield, since 1889

Urban transport analytics · Bristol
Data scientists and software engineers who can hold geospatial complexity without losing the plot. We hire people who care about the difference a good schedule makes to a person's life.
