About Pret A Manger
College friends, Sinclair and Julian, opened the first Pret A Manger in London in 1986. It was a shop with a mission to create handmade food, freshly prepared each day. The two of them had woefully little experience in the world of business. They created the sort of food they craved but couldn’t find anywhere else. 30 years on, the mission remains unchanged.
Pret operates a bit like a restaurant. We build kitchens in (or very near) every shop. You won’t find ‘sell-by’ dates on our fresh sandwiches and salads. Our milk and coffee is organic. We offer our unsold food to charity at the end of each day rather than keeping it to sell the next day. We believe in good jobs for good people and we’re looking for more to join our team. Our wonderful hardworking people make all the difference. They are the heart and soul of our business.

Naomi Almonte
Level 2 Apprentice in Hospitality at Pret
Naomi wanted to try something new, “I didn’t know what I want to do when I am older, and apprenticeships are the best way to learn so I wanted to experience something different.”
Naomi would go to Pret with her mum and when she looked online for apprenticeships Pret came up and it looked like a good programme and she liked the idea of a degree apprenticeship.
Naomi says, “Since working at Pret I have learnt how to manage my time better whether it be working in the kitchen on food production or in other areas of work, in the beginning it was harder. My pace in the kitchen has really improved too as in the beginning it was difficult to be quick.”
“I would like to be a manager and run my own shop one day. I am currently deciding which key role or path I want to take but I want to try new things and experience different options as I go along.”
