Looking After Our People and Our Neighbours
As proud employers in, and members of, our local communities the JG Pears Group firmly believe that we need to operate in our neighbours’ best interests and add value to those on our doorstep. Our charitable donations and community support activities are focussed on those activities which actively help the communities, either through support for young people and their schools, or in the promotion of healthy lifestyles, including sports activities.
Here are some examples of where we’ve supported our neighbours and local communities:
While being a good neighbour is of paramount importance, we are also committed to looking after our employees.
We offer highly competitive remuneration and provide plenty of opportunities for employees to grow within their roles or diversify into other areas of the business. Last year, our employees completed over 150 training courses to help them with their professional development.
Our sites have clean and comfortable welfare facilities where staff can always get a hot shower and make use of fully equipped cooking and dining areas. We have recently invested in new staff facilities at our Low Marnham site. The raised block includes showers, a large kitchen, and a seated dining area.
As part of our commitment to a cleaner greener future, we have recently installed electric vehicle charging points at our Low Marnham site, to enable of employees to fuel their cars with the renewable electricity produced at our onsite biomass heat and power plant.
Alongside optimising our employees’ working environment, we support them with life outside of work too. All our employees can access help through the JG Pears Reward Scheme. From debt management to care issues and telephone counselling, staff can speak to experts through dedicated helplines. The benefits also include discounted gym membership and cashback on purchases from selected retailers.
From preventing valuable food being wasted and driving excellence in the circular economy, to being a good neighbour, the JG Pears Group is committed to acting as a responsible corporate business. If you’d like to join the team, have a look at our current vacancies.
