Our Promises to you...

  • At Ferndale Foods we take the safety of our staff to be of paramount importance. We have a clearly defined health and safety policy that all the staff are made aware of on their induction to the workplace, and have periodic refresher courses. We employ a full time RoSPA trained health and safety officer who holds regular meetings with the workplace representatives where any safety issues can be solved quickly and efficiently. We are a multicultural employer and therefore actively strive to meet the challenges this brings. We work with the communities to ensure any language barriers are dealt with to prevent any health and safety issues.

    We have an in-house medical facility and nurse available for our employees to air any concerns they may have with personal health, or health in the work place. We have recently completed the build of a new bright and open working environment to make for a better working day. Two way communications between all departments are actively promoted, making for an informed and responsive workforce.

    We strongly believe in training and eduction for all our employees and where possible new career positions and job promotions are filled by developing our existing workface.

  • Without our extensive list of raw material suppliers Ferndale Foods would not be able to supply a consistent quality and quantity of products to our customers. We pride ourselves on having a good working relationships with all our suppliers who are willing to “ pull out all the stops” when needs must. All our materials have achievable specifications that have been agreed with the supplier to ensure fit for purpose ingredients. Contracts are established so both parties are aware of their commitments, in both terms of volume and finance.

    All the above points are also true with our service suppliers who without we could not operate our plant. Yearly contracts are tendered and quoted for supplies of gas and electricity. Water consumption and waste are closely monitored to ensure we meet the requirements of the local authorities.
