Founded in 1986 in London, Pret A Manger set out with a simple mission – to create handmade food that you couldn’t find anywhere else. What started as a small shop has grown into an international business, with hundreds of shops across the world, serving millions of customers every year.
As Pret continues to evolve as a dynamic, customer-focused business, we remain true to our roots – freshly preparing our food in shop kitchens throughout the day with high-quality ingredients, brewing organic coffee, and maintaining a deep commitment to sustainability.
Our people are at the heart of our success. We believe in being kind, being generous, and being honest – values that shape everything we do. It’s why, at the end of each day, we donate as much of our unsold food as possible to those who need it most. And why we support those experiencing homelessness through The Pret Foundation.
We welcome passionate, hardworking, wonderful people (like you!) who bring energy and enthusiasm to their work, and we give them the chance to shine. Pret is a place full of opportunities to grow, whether it’s through training, career progression, or the many ways we come together to give back.
Join us, and be part of something truly special.
