The majority of our staff come from within a 15 mile radius, and often by word of mouth recommendation. We do employ some agency workers, but our goal is to have permanent loyal full time staff. We currently pay 60p above the minimum wage, for all starters, and we have a banding system in place, that is open and fair to reward hard work and focused commitment.
70% of office staff have been recruited from the shop floor, which is beneficial in reinforcing good relations between factory and admin support.
We have a strong middle and senior management team, who work very well together, and reinforce the positive message that working hard for a family concern, can be very rewarding. Our structure is flat, and from the very top we are hands on, and committed to our customers, the quality of our product and our integrity.
In 2017 we strengthened a number of our departments with external support (although we do try to promote from within where at all possible, growth had been so quick, that we required experienced people who would add value to the respective departments). We strengthened our Technical Team, HR Department, Hygiene Department and IT Department to name but a few.
Forresters recognize that to grow, it is important to have the very best of staff in positions of responsibility, and we truly believe this to be the case.
