Working in Buying
As a supermarket operating on a large scale, we serve the needs of a diverse consumer market. To do this efficiently we use a wealth of tools and systems to keep up to date with new trends and customer shopping habits, allowing us to respond quickly to changes in the market. It is our job to identify any product growth opportunities and ensure our product range is optimised, always keeping the customer at the heart of what we do.
Being a Buyer at Tesco is incredibly fast paced yet rewarding. We work with a dynamic team of colleagues with varied expertise, so there’s always lots to learn! It’s great being able to work on ranges from conception, and see the fruits of your labour physically in store and through sales.
Our location
Checkout – Welwyn Garden City
Checkout – Welwyn Garden City
This building name is inspired by Operation Checkout, one of our most iconic price campaigns. During an economic downturn in the UK in 1977, we launched massive price cuts to help customers on very tight budgets. Our Food and Quality teams are based here and this is our main building with a restaurant, gym, bicycle parking and showers, dry cleaning drop off service, colleague baby room, cash machine, car charging and post box.
Smile – Welwyn Garden City
This building's name is inspired by Eat Happy which started life with the project name Smile and takes education out of the classroom to show children where their food comes from. Our Human Resources Team is based here and there is a restaurant, bicycle parking and dry cleaning drop off service. This is also the location of our colleague Health and Wellness centre where colleagues can access massage therapists, GP services and beauticians.
Pear – Welwyn Garden City
This building name is inspired by the project name used during our 2003 acquisition of T & S Stores. Many of these stores were converted to our Express format to help us to build our convenience offer for customers. Our General Merchandise, Supply Chain and Operations teams are based here and there is a restaurant and bicycle parking.
Heart - Welwyn Garden City
Our building at the heart of the Welwyn Garden City Campus is now open, providing a new and exciting central hub with flexible spaces to learn, collaborate and innovate. There are facilities for well-being, a customer experience centre and a Tesco Express store.
Working in Welwyn Garden City
Our campus sits just 10 minutes walk from the centre of Welwyn Garden city with its many shops, restaurants, pubs and sports facilities. Close to the A1 and with frequent trains running to Kings Cross in as little as 26 minutes (free shuttle buses take you between the station and office) the campus is well connected to the surrounding area.
