Company Description:

As New Zealand's largest, longest established and most trusted department store, Farmers is the perfect launchpad for your career in retail. We realise that our most tangible competitive advantage lies within our people, so we place considerable emphasis on team member development. We aim to attract, develop and retain highly talented people who can help us achieve our goals and, at the same time, satisfy their own ambitions.


As the country's foremost department store, Farmers Trading Company - or Farmers, as we are more commonly known - have been outfitting New Zealand women, their families and their homes for nearly 100 years.


First established by Robert Laidlaw as a catalogue mail order company in 1909, Farmers is now a thriving, modern department store and New Zealand's leading fashion and home retailer - combining quality and value with an ever-increasing selection of the best local and international brands.

Proudly New Zealand owned, Farmers operates over 55 modern department stores in both rural and city locations around the country, and employs over 3600 people.


Farmers is a true New Zealand icon and part of Kiwi culture - but we are not a company to rest on our laurels! We are constantly looking for new and fresh ideas to help us develop and improve the services we offer to our customers. That is why our staff are so important to us.
