Join our rescue mission to fight food waste.
Oddbox began as a seedling in a market in Portugal. Our founders, Emilie and Deepak, were browsing the fresh, beautiful, sometimes funny-looking fruit & veg on offer. It struck them that they only ever saw identical, aesthetically pleasing produce in UK supermarkets. Why was that?
They did some digging and learned that up to 40% of all produce in the UK is wasted before it leaves farms. Why? Because it doesn’t look “right” or because too much was grown - despite being fresh, beautiful, and totally tasty.
Something needed to change. They knew if they could bring together hardworking producers and people who loved fresh fruit & veg — no matter what it looked like — they could build something with long-lasting impact.
And so, Oddbox was born.
From humble beginnings with a handful of customers, we now work directly with farmers to deliver thousands of boxes of fantastic fruit & veg 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 (to save the planet).

Employee perks via Perkbox & Charlie HR
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

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 2024.

About Oddbox
Oddbox is a community-powered weekly rescue mission to save delicious, fresh fruit and veg which is deemed ‘too big’, ‘too ugly’, the ‘wrong colour', or simply ‘too many’ from going to waste. We deliver our boxes directly from the growers to people’s doorsteps across the UK.
With food waste being a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, Oddbox is building a community that together can play its part in fighting food waste and tackling climate change. We're a proud B Corp and have delivered over eight million boxes since we launched in 2016.
