About SPAR

SPAR People

The experience for our customers can be greatly enriched as a result of the interaction with our SPAR staff. Outstanding team members who have a 'Passion for Food' are key to the creation of loyal customers.


The people working in SPAR reflect their unique personality on the SPAR organisation. They are the point of difference and it is through these people that SPAR is able to build a worldwide Food Retail Brand.

The importance of our people in providing outstanding service is recognised within SPAR. To achieve this we will continue to invest in training and development of our staff. SPAR has several training academies run by member countries which meet the requirements of the local market and the aim of becoming an employer of choice.

SPAR Champions
Even though all SPAR employees are valued people who live and breathe the core values of SPAR, often there are staff members who go that extra mile or who have being doing something outstanding in their area. We call these our 'Local Champions' and we have asked them to explain what they have been doing to achieve fantastic results.
