Vision

We provide more than just jobs.

We strive to be "an employer of choice.” We want to be known as a “great place to work” as this will bring benefits to the Company, colleagues and society as a whole.

We want our colleagues to feel part of a business that “does the right thing.”

Our company culture is built on living our values and beliefs and sharing them with our suppliers and growers. These are our guiding principles which are clearly understood by everyone. Our business is more successful because our actions and behaviour are congruent with our values and beliefs. As a result we have grown to trust and respect each other.

Promotion from within is always our first choice. New recruits fit our culture, feel at home here and are eager to do a good job. We have colleagues NOT just employees – who build careers and contribute to the effectiveness of the business. We provide a thorough induction so that all new colleagues understand their job and our culture and are given the best chance to be successful at Fenmarc.

The Leaders in our business have a responsibility to support all colleagues who wish to maximise their potential in the time they spend with us. We challenge and excite our colleagues and we match this with the equally high levels of support we give. This enables colleagues to stretch to their full potential in knowing they can ask for help when they need it, and be respected for doing so.

Leadership in our business is not just for those with the title “Leader”. Everyone who chooses to can take leadership opportunities as they arise- build ideas, inspire others, motivate and align people to the Fenmarc vision. Great leaders in our business discover their own style, keep learning and develop strong relationships throughout the organisation.

Communication in our organisation is the way we create colleague engagement. Communication of business information flows up, down and across our business. Our employee representation forums, known as Listening groups, provide a forum for consultation giving colleagues a say in our ways of working.

“One team, one purpose” is one of our values and this confirms our belief that every individual should have equal privileges and benefits.  We believe that work should be challenging and fun for everyone. Within our company, there is no “them and us” we are all going forward together.

We are known as a great company both inside and out. We recognise and celebrate success when it occurs. People care for their peers, their colleagues, the company, our customers and the community the organisation sits in. We are an active “Business in the Community” with a philosophy of “helping others to help themselves” to try to help people who we believe in turn pass the benefits on to others.

Finally Asda recognise that we are aligned to their way of working not only within the Product supply chain but in the way we care for our colleagues. Like Asda, the environment we have created enables our colleagues to thrive.
