Barfoots of Botley

Description

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

 

Barfoots are thrilled to announce commitment to the UK Government’s Armed Forces Covenant. The Covenant provides a framework for businesses in the UK to ensure that veterans, reservists and their partners are treated fairly in the workplace and are fully integrated into the wider community. 

As one of the largest Fresh Produce suppliers in the UK, Barfoots are proud to be able to demonstrate support to those who proudly protect our nation and who do so with honour, courage, and commitment. 

To help illustrate the nation’s gratitude, Barfoots will endeavour to uphold the Covenant’s key principles and demonstrate our own commitment to service leavers, veterans, military spouses and partners. As a Forces Friendly employer, our pledge to recognise transferrable skills developed through military training, will ensure that members of the Armed Forces community are treated with fairness and respect.

About us

Growing is in our nature. Over 40 years ago, we started life as a small family farm with a handful of people and a modest range of crops.

Today, we’re a global farming and food business working thousands of acres and employing thousands of people around the world to grow, process, pack and market a range of fresh produce. Supplying our premium produce to some of the UK’s leading retailers and restaurants, we are very proud of what we do and how we do it. With our impressive green credentials, we truly are committed to sustainability, demonstrating continued investment in the latest technologies to help maintain our carbon neutral footprint.

We provide our people with the inspiration and opportunities to grow and develop through our programme of on-going training. Being truly passionate about what we do and how we do it, we provide a supportive and diverse environment in which people can learn new skills and improve their capabilities to become leaders and pioneers in both their fields and ours.
