Meet our employees
UP gave me the opportunity to start my career without initially having the industry experience. From day one on the Graduate Development Scheme as a Graduate Trainee Assistant Buyer, the company showed faith in me and allowed me to grow and achieve my goals; through hard work and dedication, I am now a Senior Buyer, fully responsible for the company’s Housewares division.
Katie
Chief Product Officer
The people are what makes UP so brilliant – I have a fantastic team, many of whom joined through our Grad Scheme and have now grown into confident, passionate advocates for our products and brands. I love supporting their progression, helping them build commercial awareness and seeing them succeed; it’s so rewarding and a real highlight of working here!
Emma
Senior Buyer
I love the energy in the office and the atmosphere, it’s always so vibrant, high energy, engaging and exciting. There’s never a dull day - it’s super fast paced, but you’ll never get bored working at UP! Seeing people come in at graduate level and work their way up makes me really proud.
Charles
National Account Manager
I love being part of such a great team. Everyone is so supportive and always there for each other, which makes a big difference day to day. We collaborate well and it always feels like we’re working together and helping each other out. I also really enjoy how varied my role is. Being able to project manage, design, and be involved in different stages of a project makes the role interesting. It’s so rewarding seeing my designs in store!
Liora
Brand Designer
I’ve always enjoyed learning new things, and UP gives me the opportunity to seek out different third parties and emerging technology, and implement these new platforms or solutions into my day-to-day role. I am proud of the fact that I’ve progressed so quickly here at UP. I’ve been given the opportunity to develop myself through the mentoring programme, through the graduate scheme, and I have been rewarded for that in my time that I’ve been here.
