What's it like working at For Goodness Shakes?
It's different. For starters, there are only 16 of us in the team. Last year, there were 5. Since we launched 3 years ago, sales have doubled. Then tripled. We now sell £5M's worth of For Goodness Shakes a year and we're planning to double that. Again and again. There aren't many businesses around growing this fast.
Managing growth like this takes skill, creativity and determination. At the heart of our success is a culture that grows by learning from and developing our skills. No matter how many times you've been round the block, there's always room for new ideas and new ways of doing things.
And if you love your sport, what better way to live your passion on a daily basis - at work.
Here's a list of live opportunities. If any take your fancy, send over your CV in confidence along with a letter telling us why we should waste no time in meeting you. (If you want more information on the company, check out the Sunday Times article displayed within 'Press')
