Life at HBS
Real impact.
Real impact.
A team that's all in.
Life at HBS means being part of a high-performing team that gets things done — and enjoys doing it together. We move fast, work hard and back each other every step of the way.

I've grown with HBS from day one, and their support helped me complete my ACCA and step up into managing the finance team.

Purchasing Coordinator
I joined straight after my GCSEs and worked my way up in a busy procurement team before moving into my role as Purchasing Coordinator.
How we work
Fast. Human. Reliable.
That's what sets us apart
Our customers rely on us to keep things running, so they need more than a supplier. They need people who deliver — speed they can count on, support from real people, and a service that takes the pressure off, not adds to it. That's what we deliver every day.
Our Values
Three principles that guide how we show up, work together and win together.
Grit
in the Game
We show up with drive, discipline and resilience — and we finish what we start.
Better
Never Stops
We raise the bar. We learn, grow and improve — always.
All In.
Win Together
We back each other. We share the wins. We solve problems as one team.
A great place to work
We expect a lot — but we give a lot too. Recognition, development, and a team that's proud of what we achieve together. Whether it's an ice cream van visit on a hot day, our annual volunteering day, or celebrating milestones together — it's all part of life at HBS.
One day of paid leave a year for every team member to support a local charity or community cause
Regular treats — from ice cream vans in summer to cakes and surprises through the year
Christmas party time — an annual celebration of everything we've achieved together
HBS team lunches — bringing everyone together around the table, regularly
