KESKO FOOD LTD PRESS RELEASE 03.07.2012 AT 09.00 1(1)
Again this summer, more than 4,000 summer workers are busy in K-food stores and
Kesko Food's premises around Finland taking care of various sales, customer
service, office, and warehouse duties.
Most of the summer workers, about 3,800, are positioned in K-food stores. There
are almost one thousand K-food stores in Finland.
"K-food stores and Kesko Food are significant employers in Finland, so we can
offer many kinds of summer jobs in the trading sector. Most of the young people
are employed in sales and customer service, and we also have summer workers in
office and warehouse tasks in many parts of Finland. We want to be a responsible
employer and do our share in giving young people a chance to get a foothold in
work", says Ari Svensk, HR Director at Kesko Food.
Kesko Food and its subsidiaries hired altogether 400 summer workers, who are
mainly employed in warehouse, office and customer service tasks. Aleksi
Hiltunen, who is studying in Helsinki University to become Master of Food
Sciences, got a summer job in the planning team of Kesko's own brand, Pirkka.
This is already his second summer in a row in Ruokakesko. "I sent in an open
application and got a summer job that includes project designer's tasks related
to Pirkka product packaging, among other things. I had a part-time job related
to Pirkka products also during the winter alongside my studies, so this summer
I'm already familiar with the job. I think an advantage of a big employer is
that there is a good chance of getting a job also after I graduate."
Kesko Food's subsidiaries Kespro Ltd and Keslog Ltd employ summer workers in
wholesale and warehouse tasks. Kespro is the leading wholesaler in Finland and a
partner to hotel, restaurant and catering (HoReCa) professionals. Keslog is one
of the biggest providers of logistics services in the trading sector in Finland.
