Overview

Everything we do at Mars Petcare reflects our passion for pets. We’ve been developing products that help pets lead happier, healthier lives since 1935 – and now no one in the world does this better than Mars. Our portfolio of leading petcare brands is unrivalled and includes Pedigree, the world’s number one dog food brand.

Location

Explore our beautiful campus in rural Leicestershire and you’ll see our passion at first hand. In between the rolling hills, you’ll find the WALTHAM Centre for Pet Nutrition – the world’s leading centre for pet nutrition. This is home to some of the biggest breakthroughs in petcare in the last forty years and it’s from here that we’re currently mapping the canine genome, which will help countless breeds of dog lead longer lives.

As well as being a place where innovation can really flourish, the campus is home to a gym and a shop, plus it’s extremely easy to reach. The bustle and boutiques of Nottingham, Leicester and Peterborough are less than 30 minutes away and London’s attractions are around an hour by train.

We’ve also world-class manufacturing plants in Melton Mowbray, Peterborough and Leeds – all of which are places where teamwork thrives and, thanks to the friendly, talented people who work together sharing their passion for pets, a real sense of fun prevails.

Culture

There is a great community spirit in Petcare, which springs from our campus setting and shared passion for pets. There’s an unmistakable sense of freedom in every area of Mars because of our financial independence as a business and Petcare is no exception. But the close-knit communal attitude is unique to Petcare and it makes this the place to be if you appreciate the community feeling and want to add to the magic of pet ownership. Plus there aren’t many other workplaces that let you bring your pets into the office!

Opportunities

Few businesses offer as much potential as Petcare. Pet ownership in the UK is growing and we’re ahead of the competition for innovation and brand strength. As a result, you’ll never want for career or learning opportunities, but equally these won’t be handed to you. Whether your background is production or logistics, sales or marketing, you’ll need to take responsibility for your career, drive your own progress and help develop our growth.
