How long have you worked for Yeo Valley?
15 years
What do you enjoy about working here?
I like all of the different jobs and then the sense of achievement when hitting the targets set for the day. I like working with lots of different people, getting to know them and their background.
What does a typical day look like for you?
It changes on a day to day basis as I move around different departments in the factory. One day I could be working on a small Hitpak machine packing small pots of yogurt and the next I could be in the Nutpod (our special secure area separate to the main factory where we use nut products). I love that I get to work with and get to know so many different people.
What makes Yeo Valley different to anywhere you’ve worked before?
Yeo Valley are very caring and do a lot for us, this has been even more noticeable during the Covid-19 pandemic; I feel much safer coming to work than going into a supermarket. I am also very interested in the products we produce and the product life-cycle, from the farms all the way through to the fridge.
If you were a Yeo Valley yogurt flavour, which one would you be and why?
Banana and custard! I love everything about a banana, love the smell of the factory when making it.
