For me, the best thing about working here is the people

Sitting at the heart of a 24/7 business, our IT teams develop ambitious strategies and provide high quality support to keep Nisbets running smoothly. So we’re always on the lookout for talented Developers, experienced support staff, Project Managers, Business Analysts and Network Administrators.
It’s high profile, varied and challenging work. Whether we’re providing a seamless digital experience for an external customer or developing a hassle-free order-entry experience for our sales teams, the customer’s at the centre of it all. This means we have to be innovative but professional, detail-focused but continuously improving.

Meet some of our people
Conrad Hunneman, MD of Nisbets Continental Europe
At Nisbets we’re on an exciting journey, with lots of growth opportunities. I really enjoy being able to play my part. We have great people working here, people that want to make a difference and to make Nisbets become customers’ first choice by helping them to do great things. During my job interview, I met a few of the leadership team and they made me feel part of the Nisbets family even before I officially started. That’s when I realised that this was a great company to join and I was right.
Meet some of our people
Nicola Ransome, Senior Group Category Manager
After moving out of London and leaving the fashion industry, I was looking for something to match my skills. Nisbets were looking for a Clothing and Footwear Buyer, which seemed fairly suitable. Since I joined, the commercial team’s changed a lot, but there’s always been a real sense of teamwork. In buying it’s really important to have a strong and supportive team to get the job done. Nisbets is an ambitious company that’s constantly changing, so there are always challenges. You never know what will happen next and you learn something new every day.
