Their achievement brings our total to 16 qualified forklift truck operators, with the majority trained in-house - keeping our production running smoothly, and helping us maintain a safe working environment.

On World Day for Safety and Health at Work, a day dedicated to preventing occupational accidents, it’s a great reminder of the importance of ongoing training. Our Health and Safety team plays a vital role in delivering programmes like these, helping to protect and empower our people every day.

Today we’re pausing our usual content to celebrate something a little different, as today is National Pet Day!

Our team is lucky to be surrounded by some truly wonderful (and wonderfully diverse!) companions.

They keep us company, get us outside, make us laugh, and remind us to switch off and enjoy the moment. For many of us, they’re not just pets, they’re part of the family.

Introducing some of the animals that mean so much to us... 🩷

Happy International Waffle Day! 🧇

The perfect waffle has a light, fluffy centre and a perfectly crisp, golden exterior - made possible by the magic of great baking powder.

The small ingredient with a big impact!
