WHO ARE WE?
We are Charles Faram: a grower-owned hop merchant located between Worcester and Malvern. The business has operated since 1865 but has grown significantly in the last 30+ years, with just over 40 staff in the UK and around 55, in total, globally.
We take the long view and believe that healthy, mutually loyal relationships are the best ones, based on fairness and understanding. We want to continuously earn our customers’ trust and we are proud to do so.
We are a hop specialist, and a one-stop shop for many breweries’ malt, yeast and brewing aid needs. We have a huge range, with fantastic cold storage and processing facilities. Our helpful teams ensure that customers are looked after and partnered with.
Our working atmosphere is warm, respectful, promotes proactivity and good teamwork.
The breweries we serve are incredibly diverse in size and style: no brewery is the same and each is an essential customer. The brewing sector thrives on co-operation and shared learning.
We also look to the future, working with both the British UK hop development programme as well as our own (in the UK and abroad). This is how we deliver meaningful improvements to ingredient quality, farm sustainability and environmental impacts.
---
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
Ideally, we’re looking for someone who enjoys beer and agriculture, who gets the company ethos about working in partnership with our customers and supply chain for the long term.
