Meet the geeks

Our crack team of geeks making the cheesegeek world go around. We're a growing team, small but mighty, working across all areas of the bizz that we call cheese from Operations and Customer Service to Marketing and Corporates. We like to consider ourselves disruptors, whether that's revolutionising the way that cheese is packaged or simply breaking the boundaries of how much cheese can be consumed in a day.

Meet the geeks

Edward

The Cheese Geek

Geek No.1

The mothership. A cheese overlord. Edward can usually be found around the fridges snaffling the latest finds despite this not being his role. When he’s put the cheese down for longer than 5 minutes, he shapes the strategy and sets the overall direction for the business.

Geek No. 2

Entirely responsible for the cheesegeek brand you see today. From inserts to website to cheese-y social media graphics. Thank goodness she likes yellow (and a select few other colours) or perhaps she was just going through a Coldplay early 2000's phase...'look at the stars...'

Richard

Cheese Operations Officer

Geek No. 3

Day to day running of cheesegeek operations - Rich helps everything tick a long nicely. His lack of cheese knowledge is made up for by his positive attitude, love of meetings and general thirst for start up life. Despite the knowledge gap he thinks cheese 'is the best thing ever invented'.

What makes us different?

We’re Ambitious

Across the industry, our cheese, our service, our tech.... we strive to be the best.

We’re Responsible

For cheesemakers, for our customers, for our environment

We’re Together

We love sharing the cheese knowledge. It's why we're here and unites us as a company.

We’re Passionate

Enthusiasm reigns. Whether it's cheese, CO2 emissions or our tech.

We’re Disruptive

We're proud to be part of the cheese community but we're here to shake it up.

Join the cheesegeek team

The self styled Modern Cheesemonger, we operate purely online sending out recklessly good looking boxes filled with award winning cheese. Billed as the Netflix of Fromage, our sweet spot is subscriptions where we’re able to lead merry customers on a journey through the cheese universe.

Whilst we’re official ‘cheese heads’, in reality we dance on the line between cheese and technology. Great cheese has been around for donkey’s years - but we’re now taking it to the masses with some of the smartest tech around. We’ve rather handily coined this ‘Cheesetech’. Think proprietary software to allocate cheese...and the world’s first cheese purchasing app.


We’ve grown fast since starting out from our own kitchen just over 4 year ago. Now based in Raynes Park, we’re sending out literally tonnes of cheese each month - enough to class us in the high growth startup category. But we’re not stopping there. 82% of the UK population eat cheese each week...we’re on a mission to get more of these people eating better cheese.

Simply put, our ambition is to be game-changers, and to take cheese retail to a new level. Think cheese, think cheesegeek.

Cheese Whisperers (Cutting, Wrapping and Packing)

At cheese HQ we have orders going out at quite a clip so we're on a mission to unearth some champion cheesemongers, or as we call them, cheese whisperers.

Why Whisperers? Because in a short space of time (it might be already), cheese will become your best friend. You’ll quickly find yourself whispering sweet nothings to a Tunworth or even scribbling love notes to a Comte. This is the sort of love and care for cheese that we’re looking for. Once you’re in that special relationship place, your primary focus will be cutting, wrapping and packing cheese..
