Walking into granby after having completing my apprenticeship, I really found an enthusiastic, fun team to work with. The support and guidance that Granby have given has made my decision to work with them totally justified. The senior management team have clearly got a lot of vision for the business to continue to grow and to develop a sustainable business for the future.

I was really interested in working for Granby to the point I was prepared to accept a pay cut but after reading reviews I am so glad I am not going to work for Granby.
arranging the interview was an easy and a fast process, it was trying to get feedback following the interview. constantly lied to by staff when I followed up. this just shows what kind of organisation it is and how people are treat. I'd say stay away.

Nectar phoned and said i had won a competition and Granby would be in touch. Got an email about a month after asking where to send the prize. That was over 6 weeks ago. Nothing. Think this place is just selling info to other markertors?
Further from my last post it was nothing to do with Granby but the useless couriers who could not read a label and delivered to a totally different address on a totally different estate!

I was there for 4 years and didn't get any appreciation. Most of the the higher paid staff look down on you and I couldn't be bothered with it anymore. A person left the company to which they slagged them off for not doing the work (which I had to clean up the mess for) and then they take them back when I did all their work!! You go to this place to work if you are desperate. I'm in a much happier place now. Had to give this 1 star because it wouldn't let me choose 0.
