We hate the term ‘head office’. It sounds far too self-important. We prefer to call the office by the place where it’s located, Hudson’s Place, which is in Victoria in London.

The people based at Hudson’s Place are there to support the good work that our shop teams do each and every day. In order for our shops to run smoothly – so Pret can remain profitable but still be a fun place to work – lots has to go on behind the scenes. We have to find great sites for shops, then build them, create winning food ideas, source ingredients that can be delivered daily, communicate to our customers about what we do and why, ensure our computer systems function correctly, make sure everyone gets paid on time… the list goes on and on.

To ensure the people in our office understand our shops, everyone spends 2 days a year working in their 'buddy shop' making sandwiches, pouring coffees and serving customers (it keeps us grounded).

Members of our Hudson’s Place teams share in the private healthcare scheme, receive a daily food allowance, receive life assurance, pension contributions and annually can earn up to 30% of their salary as a bonus.
