Product Developer

Support Office - Watford

Contract: Full time
Salary: £35,000 - £40,000

Located in Albany Park, Frimley Road, Camberley, our Frimley site serves as both the UK Head Office and a production facility.

Here’s what working at Frimley feels like:

It’s a fast-paced, dynamic place where ‘getting things done’ is the norm. As part of the team, you’ll see how decisions made in meetings turn into real operations on the production line or in support functions.

Because it’s both an office and production facility, roles range greatly—from logistics, operations, and quality control, through support/administration, to senior strategy. So whether you’re on your feet in production or working at a desk, there’s a strong sense of shared purpose.

There’s a real emphasis on collaboration and cross-team working: production talks to quality, HR works closely with operations, support functions feed into strategy. Everyone has a part to play.

The site is modern, well-equipped, and benefits from excellent transport links. Being near Junction 4 of the M3 and Frimley town centre makes commuting more manageable.

You’ll be surrounded by people who care about quality. There’s pride in what we make—fresh doughnuts, consistent standards, safe working, and doing things properly.

Why Join Krispy Kreme?

We don’t just make doughnuts. We create joy and we look after our people while we’re at it.
