Vero Recruitment is partnering exclusively with Walker’s Shortbread to recruit an ambitious, qualified finance professional into the newly created role of Accountant.
It was over a hundred years ago that the Walker family started baking shortbread in the Speyside village of Aberlour, where they remain to this day.
Joseph Walker founded the company when he opened his village bakery in 1898; now it is his grandchildren and great grandchildren that continue the tradition of fine baking that he started.
In fact, the founder’s personal guarantee is still marked on every pack to confirm that Walker’s products are made with only the finest ingredients obtainable. Though the Walker family have added many new products to their range during the last century, each and every one holds to those original values of quality and natural goodness.
