BAMFORD COLLECTION CAREERS
The Bamford Collection is a group of consciously minded lifestyle brands committed to nourishing and nurturing people and planet.
CURRENT JOB OPENINGS
A WAY OF LIFE
What drives and inspires us is the belief that we have a responsibility not just to protect the world around us but to have a positive impact on it too.
The group encompasses an organic farm and retailer; a considered clothing label; botanical skincare, bath and body collections; wellness destinations around the world; and hospitality experiences that foster a sense of community and celebrate the healing power of escapism.
We champion a slow and sustainable way of living, encouraging our customers to make choices that are greener for the planet as well as kinder to their bodies and minds.
We are more than a group of businesses striving to make a difference. We are a way of life.
BAMFORD COLLECTION THROUGH THE YEARS
2001
Daylesford’s farm is certified organic
The farm received its official certification from the Soil Association confirming that our farmland meets their rigorous certification criteria governing animal welfare, protecting human health, and safeguarding the environment.
2002
The first Daylesford cheddar is produced in the creamery
Daylesford’s cheddar was the first in Britain to be certified organic. Made by hand on our farm using time-honoured artisan methods, the piquant, layered taste and well- balanced texture have won it national and international awards.
2002
Daylesford's farmshop opens in Kingham
Our Cotswold farmshop opened selling our homemade soups, sandwiches, bread, cheese, meat and a few vegetables.
2004
Bamford's bath and body range is launched
Bamford's first body products launched with the creation of the brand's signature geranium fragrance. It remains the most popular.
2005
Bamford's Wellness Spa opens in the Cotswolds
The spas have always remained faithful to the philosophy of this founding location, offering carefully curated facial and body treatments, mind and movement classes and holistic therapies, all focused on healing using a blend of ancient techniques and the latest developments in wellness.
2008
Daylesford wins a silver gilt medal at the Chelsea Flower Show
Our ‘Summer Solstice’ garden was designed to illustrate the journey of organically grown produce from soil to table. After the show, the garden was moved to the market garden at the farm.
2009
Daylesford Cookery School launches
We are passionate about passing on skills and knowledge. Our cookery school gives our visitors the opportunity to share our ingredients and connect with them; to use and engage with produce from the farm while also learning about it and understanding how it journeys from field to fork.
2013
The Wild Rabbit opens in Kingham
Careful and sensitive refurbishment of the seventeenth-century stone building took time, so it was an exciting moment to open the doors to Daylesford Stays' first pub, our take on a modern inn where visitors can dine, drink and sleep.
2021
Daylesford is awarded its Michelin Green Star
The Trough restaurant was awarded one of Michelin's inaugural ‘Green Stars’. The award recognises restaurants for their sustainable and environmental practices and singles them out as ‘role models’ for others.
2022
Bamford’s homegrown merino collection wins a Positive Luxury award
The knitwear was awarded Positive Luxury’s Product Innovation of the Year. Bamford was the first brand to craft knitted merino pieces that haven’t left UK soil and the award recognises Carole Bamford’s vision to unite Daylesford’s expertise in sustainable, organic farming with Bamford’s skill in designing knitwear.
2023
The Club by Bamford opens
Bamford opened its luxury members club set within the greenery of Daylesford's farm. The beautifully designed building houses a space where members can have a swim looking out into an orchard; train in a state-of the-art gym, attend high-energy fitness classes or take their fitness outside with world class trainers to choose from.
2023
The Bamford Collection is created
Founder Carole Bamford brought together Daylesford, Bamford and Daylesford Stays as a family of businesses working towards the same purpose: to champion a slow and sustainable way of living.
2024
Heritage House opens
Daylesford's striking events venue draws inspiration from its countryside surroundings. Three versatile, dynamic spaces with panoramic views over Daylesford’s market garden are perfectly suited to intimate gatherings and grand celebrations.
