We are a new British startup inspired by our founder's great-great-great grandfather John Cadbury. Love Cocoa aims to make British chocolate great again, reinventing chocolate classics with a contemporary touch being free-from: refined sugars, gluten, palm oil and other nasties.
This is a great opportunity to join a fast moving food brand that has launched in Fortnum & Mason, Harvey Nics, Planet Organic and over 75 independents this year alone.
We’re a small team based in East London (Old St, but soon to be London Fields WeWork) and are looking for an enthusiastic and energetic salesperson.
This role will consist of field sales as well as office work.
