What Our Staff Say About Working for the Panaz Group
-
I can’t believe where the last 15 years have gone! I started at Spring Mill in September 2008, when our warehouse was 10,000 sqm. Now, our factory in Bentley Wood has 70,000 sqm of manufacturing and distribution space. I love that Panaz is a family business and sustainability is at the heart of everything we do.

I joined Panaz on an internship in 2019 after I finished Uni. Shortly after, Panaz offered me a permanent position within their Product Development Team.
