“People with the desire to make a difference and the work ethic to deliver” are the qualities found in employees at family-owned GA Pet Food Partners.
The Lancashire-based company, which has a total of three UK sites, is on a mission to make and deliver the world’s finest pet food. With 2000 partner brands located throughout the world, it strives to “meet the demands and exceed the expectations” of its customers.
GA Pet Food Partners’ core values are‘Quality’, ‘Innovation’ and ‘Integrity’ – values that are embedded throughout the organisation and crucial to the company’s ambition of extensive further growth.
Also crucial to this ambition is expertise and investment in R&D, something which the organisation proudly boasts. Thanks to this dedication to ongoing development of innovative new products, the company seeks to provide its partner brands with market-leading items to add to their offering.
As designated key workers, the manufacturing team at GA Pet Food Partners continued to work throughout the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. To ensure their safety during this time, the company implemented a number of changes. These included a ‘train-audit-award’ system, a key worker bonus, and company-funded transport. These incentives, says GA Pet Food Partners, kept its employees engaged and motivated to “work as hard as they always do.”
To ensure that colleagues are respected and appreciated in all that they do, GA Pet Food Partners’ managers demonstrate their commitment to the company’s core values by acknowledging each and every role as vital in the organisation and ensuring colleagues feel valued for their work and contributions.
Despite a number of training sessions having to be cancelled due to the pandemic, many internal training sessions were moved online, so that managers and leaders could receive the vital skills and training to allow them to effectively manage and support their teams through difficult and challenging times.
Employees have access to a full-time Occupational HealthSpecialist, as well as a counsellor to support colleagues with their mental health.To reward hard work, as well as fulfil its commitment to enriching colleagues’ lives, GA organises team bonding events, such as an annual family fun day, sports teams, and days out.
"GA Pet Food Partners are delighted to have maintained their One to Watch status, and are pleased to see that our colleagues are seeing good levels of engagement, despite a challenging year. We look forward to working with our colleagues over the coming 12 months to put improvements in place to further increase their levels of engagement."
Amy Mee, HR Manager - GA Pet Food Partners
