B Corp Certified

More than just a place to work

YF is more than just a place to work; it is a place to learn and grow, surrounded by the best and brightest. That is why we offer employees a range of benefits and are committed to helping them live a balanced life — both inside and outside of YF. 

Learning

We have a growth mindset and we work hard to ensure our team is meeting their potential. We invest in learning and development at all levels, from mentoring to formal training programmes.

Flexible working

We provide autonomy and flexibility when getting the job done. On average we each spend two days per week working remotely and have core hours of 10-4pm so that you can fit work around your life. Each quarter our ‘work from anywhere week’ lets you take your laptop far and wide to have a change of scenery.

FMCG

We live and breathe (and eat and drink) the brands we work with. We are lucky to be regularly sent samples to try as well as attend trade shows throughout the year to try all the incredible products on offer.

Team Building

Weekly drinks, monthly team lunches, quarterly socials, half year offsite and more. Spending quality time as a team is of great importance at YF and we make sure time is made for this every day.
