Back in 2016, our founders, Emilie and Deepak, tasted an ugly-but-delicious tomato at a market in Portugal. They realised we only ever see perfect-looking fruit and veg in supermarkets, and it tastes of nothing. They decided to dig deeper into how the food system works – and everyone at Oddbox is working to flip it on its head.
Farmers grow delicious fruit and veg, but it’s rejected because it’s “too odd” or “too many”. We make sure it doesn’t go to waste, and deliver it to doorsteps all over the UK along with loose refillables, flavour-packed ingredients and so much more. We want to help everyone do good, with food that tastes good.
So we’re getting back to cooking that’s joyful, creative and waste-free – and we’re getting back in tune with what’s growing outside the window, and the folks that grow it. We may be a little odd, but that all makes total sense to us.
From humble beginnings with a handful of customers, we now work directly with farmers and sustainable brands to deliver thousands of boxes of fantastic fruit, veg and more every week, with the community growing bigger and stronger every day.
We're now on the hunt for passionate individuals to join us in our mission to fight food waste.

Oddbox was founded to break down some of the the bias directed towards totally delicious produce.
We feel pretty similarly about people, although we'd never call you delicious. No-one is "too wonky", "too big", "too small", "too many" or "too out of season" to join our team of food waste fighters.
Or, in non-veg terms, we actively encourage people from a variety of backgrounds with different experiences, skills and stories to join us.
Our team have spent time working together to be aware of our personal biases. We hope that this shows in your recruitment journey and that you feel that you could belong here

It's great to work in a team where everyone is passionate about the mission.

Odd Ways of Working
We want all our team to be able to work in a way that feels right for them – whether that’s picking the kids up from school, taking a lunchtime Jiu-Jitsu class or just starting or finishing earlier or later than ‘normal’ business hours.
From making flexible working more accessible to making more time for learning and development we've made some pretty big extra commitments to our team in 2025.
About Oddbox
As much as 2.5 billion tonnes of food are wasted globally every year – which plays a big part in the climate crisis. We’re on a mission to change that, with rescued fruit and veg from hard-working growers as well as plastic-free ingredients and brands that do good for the planet.
With fruit, veg and more delivered right to your door, we’re working towards a fairer food system – one where growers are supported and paid fairly, where produce doesn’t have to look ‘perfect’ and, most importantly, a food system where we never waste taste. No more unnecessary air miles or plastic – just delicious food that fights waste with every box.
