It’s well known that a happy workforce makes a healthy bottom line. As one of the UK’s leading food manufacturers and suppliers, Quattro Foods prides itself on being a special place to work. Leadership places high value on the wellbeing of staff and has authentic and open management practices in place to ensure that everyone feels valued, at every level of the business. From back offices to the kitchen, warehouses and vans, we strive to ensure that every Quattro employee is supported and appreciated. Our reward has always been a fully engaged and committed workforce.
It’s easy for us to say, but occasionally we have to check that our best intentions are working out well for our most important asset – our people. So, in the spirit of Valentines Day, we asked what it’s like to work with us and here are the results of the Quattro HQ jury:

“We make everything by hand and that means everyone has to work together and talk to each other to get the job done.
