Making a difference in our local areas

We are proud to be a responsible, caring employer. Our working environments are welcoming, inclusive, and safe for all employees, with equal opportunities for all, and open communication channels between all levels of seniority.

In 2022, a quarter of our workforce were promoted, and 78% say they enjoy working with us. Despite these impressive stats, we’re always striving to do better because we care about each and every member of our team.

Together, we are bringing sustainable flavour to the UK herbs, spice, and ingredients market, and we couldn’t be prouder of our team. Equal opportunities, highly diverse, ethically minded – this is a workplace driven by purpose and always committed to excellence.

At The BART Ingredients Company, worker safety is paramount. We make sure our workplaces are safe for all employees by providing regular health and safety training, having our working conditions independently audited, and championing workers’ rights. We also make sure there is no forced labour anywhere in our supply chain, operate an anti-bribery policy, and have clear whistleblowing procedures.

In the last year, a quarter of our employees were promoted. This impressive statistic demonstrates our continual investment in our people. We give every employee the opportunity to progress within the company and forge a long term career with us, offering performance reviews, personal development plans, access to training, and an internal management ‘buddy’ system.

Employee wellbeing is business wellbeing. To make sure our people feel happy, healthy, and supported, we offer a comprehensive benefits package. From subsidised herbs and spices, to long service awards, to our exclusive discount platform, we look after our employees. We also have a cycle to work scheme, a holiday purchase scheme, and annual salary life assurance. Other important benefits include company health insurance, our employee assistance programme, and access to a remote EZ GP service.

In a recent survey, 76% of our employees said we were an equal opportunity employer. We truly see our workforce as a family, and cultivate an inclusive, diverse, multi-cultural environment, with 17 different nationalities, and a higher proportion of employees of non-white ethnic origin than the local communities we serve. We have zero tolerance for discrimination and continually monitor our performance. We also promote gender equality across the business, with an impressive 37% of management positions held by women, and targets in place for our strategic suppliers to achieve the same.

We are a certified Disability Confident Committed Employer. Being a Disability Committed Employer demonstrates our commitment to creating an inclusive and supportive workplace for all, and our dedication to empowering individuals with disabilities and promoting their talents and contributions.
