AP/AR Manager - Somerset

The Brand

At Brothers we’re passionate about what we do – and we do a lot! 

We make (millions of!) great tasting drinks, have our own exciting brands and sponsor the odd music festival you may have heard of.  We’ve grown fast, doubling in size in the last few years, with many more exciting projects in the pipeline that you can be a part of.

We’re a Curious Mix.

Don’t join us because you want a job, join us because you want to be a part of something.  A place where you can make a difference and where family values remain at the heart of what we do.

We won’t lie, there’s a lot to do… But we will offer you the chance to really build something special, to help us grow a best-in-class team that supports an ambitious, yet friendly, family business.  We need smart, hardworking superstars…  Do you have what it takes?
