People

At Woods Foodservice, we put people first. Through these initiatives, we are committed to supporting our employees' growth, well-being, and sustainability efforts, creating a positive and inclusive workplace.

Professional Development

All employees have the opportunity to create bespoke development plans to expand their skill sets, including additional further support or education. Many in our teams are enrolled in vocational training with fast-track progression opportunities.

Environmental Training

Our environmental strategy is reviewed regularly, and all staff are fully trained on its latest updates. This continuous education ensures everyone is equipped to contribute to our sustainability initiatives.

Employee Engagement

We implement a program of regular activities to increase enjoyment and inclusivity across the business. These activities focus on inter-departmental engagement and industry-relevant experiences, making them accessible to all employees.

Wellness & Mental Health

We offer multiple benefits within the wellness sector and encourage all colleagues to utilise them. With care and empathy at the core, we focus on improved mental health facilities and promote an 'open door' policy for open communication and support.

Sustainable Commuting

To reduce our carbon footprint, we offer government-supported ride-to-work and Octopus Electric Vehicle schemes. Our headquarters' proximity to Uxbridge station encourages the use of public transport.
