Samworth Brothers Limited

Samworth Brothers is famed for its relationships with its employees - loyalty, dedication and retention are vital elements in ensuring the success of the company. Here are some of the thoughts of our employees.

I've worked for the company for 12 years and in that time I have worked for various departments especially related to sales. I've been on numerous courses to help with my job.

I worked at the factory whilst I was at college and when I completed my degree I was encouraged to join the graduate management training programme.

I have worked for Dickinson & Morris for 2 years and we are part of the Samworth Brothers group which means we get quite a lot of benefits for example a pension scheme, occupational nurse our own personnel manager and health scheme.

Within 6 months I became charge hand in the spice room and then had the opportunity to take NVQ level 2, which I passed. Since then I have had the opportunity to enrol for level 3 which is much better now because we have the Samworth Academy on site - so we can do all the training on site. It is absolutely brilliant fun.

I have been really enjoying it and the training I've received from the company is second to none.

The thing that impresses me most about the company is everyone is encouraged to progress with their career and given support from the area team managers upwards.

The bakery operates around PQP, which means people, quality, profit. We have fantastic facilities like a subsidised staff restaurant.
