2020 has fast become a unique year of challenges and adaptation. However, a positive aspect of the current situation is that it has brought to the attention of the general public just how important logistics is to the smooth running of the country. The logistics sector literally keeps the UK moving by delivering the goods to keep our stores stocked and our fridges full. Without the fantastic and committed people throughout the industry who are going the extra mile this simply wouldn’t be possible.
A large cog in this important sector is chilled and ambient food & drink logistics provider Culina Group, a highly reputable business that puts its success down to its teams of knowledgeable, passionate and committed people. Culina Group explores every avenue available to ensure that its employees feel valued and nurtured, whilst being provided with vast opportunities to develop their talents and achieve their career goals within the growing organisation.
The Culina Group success story over the past twenty-five plus years has been impressive. However, the company’s overriding focus has always been on supporting its highly valued people. The aim, building a genuine family feel within its business that engenders a real sense of belonging and purpose for all colleagues.
“Without our fantastic highly experienced teams of people Culina Group would certainly not be the business that it is today. It’s all about people, treat people how you would want to be treated yourself and the rest will follow,” said Culina Group CEO Thomas van Mourik.
Culina Group is constantly striving to raise the bar when it comes to great places to work. The company recognises the importance and value of its people and is continually investing in them by providing high quality work environments, exceptional training and development programmes. Culina Group is always looking to build and strengthen its family approach to business.
A major focus for Culina Group is the company’s ‘Professional Development Programme’ or as it’s known internally the ‘RISE Programme’ (RECOGNISE – INSPIRE – SUPPORT – EMPOWER) which is open to all colleagues. The RISE programme is a comprehensive prospectus of recognised training solutions catering for all levels and something the business is extremely proud of.
Another area that Culina Group is passionate about is the recruitment and development of its drivers. Culina Group drivers are the face of the business and because of this are provided with top of the range, well-maintained vehicles and a full uniform along with on-going training opportunities.
With over 70 sites across the UK and Ireland, Culina Group is a major 3PL. As recently as 2015 Culina Group stood as a £250 million logistics provider. Turnover has quadrupled over the last five years meaning today Culina Group stands as a £1 billion plus organisation.
With no sign of things slowing down and in fact signs of continued acceleration the future is going to be very exciting for this forward thinking food and drink logistics specialist.
