We are proud of the Manchester roots that have grounded us, so we find tangible ways to give back to the people who have contributed to our success: our fantastic members and our much loved local community.

The four shareholders of Kingsland Group have put a great deal of thought into the succession of the business: focusing heavily on legacy, family ethics, and most importantly, our members. The result saw 51% of the company being sold into an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), giving each and every one of us indirect ownership status. We can now take even more pride in building Kingsland’s future which has been secured for many more years to come.

As well as this and being invited to actively participate with local charities and sporting events, our employees can expect the following benefits whilst working at Kingsland Drinks:

• Committed to being a Real Living wage business
• Supporter of good charter business Greater Manchester
• Investors in people

Fancy working for an ethical business, where your voice matters? We're a friendly, forward-thinking bunch, and our values run through everything we do. Join us for great people, great wine and spirits, exceptional benefits, a real living wage, and fairness to all.

What's in it for you?

• Generous holiday entitlement that increases with length of service
• Company day at Christmas

‘Members’ is what we call ourselves instead of 'employees' or 'staff'. In 2021 the shareholders made the decision to pass on their legacy to their members, so working here makes you a member. It's not just a name; every member can play a part in shaping our business for our future.

You’ve applied, so what’s next?

Once we’ve received your application it will be reviewed by our colleagues in HR and passed on to the hiring manager.

We might then invite you to take part in an informal telephone interview, ask you to complete some online tests, or come straight in for a face to face interview.

If your application is unsuccessful, you can be sure we will contact you to let you know.

At your interview you will be asked a mix of questions about your CV, and you will be asked to give some situational examples of when you displayed one of our values. You’ll also get the chance to ask us any questions you may have and learn a bit more about the role and about Kingsland.

It could be that we make an offer after this interview, but we usually like to invite you back in for a tour of the site so that you can make sure we are right for you too.

Again, we will always keep you updated on the status of your application at every stage of the process.

If you become our latest employee, you will be integrated in to the company right from the word ‘go’ and our first day induction is designed to equip you with everything you need to know to survive your first day and enjoy it!

Our people are the heart and soul of Kingsland. We believe that the success of the business is dependent upon the skills, attitudes, flexibility and commitment of our employees. During your first few months you will be given a professional self-development plan which is designed to add value not only on a personal level but also to improve your ability to contribute to the company.
