Life at Milton Park
At Whittard, our head office is where our passion for exceptional blends meets the people and ideas that bring them to life. Based at Milton Park in Oxfordshire our support teams work together to power every part of our business. From Buying and Merchandising to Web, Marketing, Finance, HR and beyond, every department plays a key role in our shared success.
Take a look around...
Whether you're based in the office full-time or split your time between home and HQ, you'll find a welcoming, open-plan environment where curiosity is encouraged, conversations flow easily, and even the CEO is part of the everyday buzz. With over 20 teas, coffees and hot chocolates on hand (and free to enjoy), regular social events, and a hands-on induction into the Whittard world, life at head office is about more than great work, it's about connection, discovery, and being part of something special.
Bringing our team together
At Whittard, we believe great things happen when people come together.
Throughout the year, we host a variety of events from away days and team-building activities to summer parties and company-wide gatherings.
These moments are all about connection and celebrating the people who bring the Whittard story to life...
There's always something happening around the office, from hands-on tastings and new product launches to monthly huddles, workshops and guest speakers. These sessions are a chance to stay close to our products, share ideas across teams, and spark creativity, all while enjoying the flavours and stories that make Whittard unique.

Emily, Senior Merchandiser
"I have been at Whittard for 6 years now and it really is such a great company to work for. I have freedom to do my job and am trusted to make my own decisions, but I also have support when I need it and opportunities to develop.
I get to work with such talented people in all areas of the business every day and everyone lives the values of being friendly, open, and honest. Whittard has a positive approach to wellbeing which is really important to me, and I am also on the social committee so get to help organise the fun activities throughout the year. We work hard but we enjoy ourselves which is a great balance."
"I first joined Whittard as a Packaging Designer, before moving into the role of Brand Designer and I am now the Design Manager; overseeing creative across all channels within the business.
Whittard has supported my career development through valuable manager mentoring, leadership courses and a strong focus on self-development. It is rewarding to work for a British heritage brand that’s proud of its roots yet full of energy and ambition, always pushing for growth and striving for bigger and better things."
"My Whittard journey started nearly 3 years ago in the role of Sales Manager for UK and Europe. At the moment I am focused on maximising UK and Travel Retail sales.
There are so many things I love about working at Whittard. I love the interaction with customers and building long lasting relationships. Whenever I attend and run trade shows I have the pleasure to travel and meet new people. I enjoy being a brand ambassador and embrace our values. I'm excited to see what is next in my Whittard journey!"
