The Entier team were delighted to win the coveted ‘best employer’ award at the Press & Journal Gold Awards on September 8.
Against tough competition, Entier CEO Peter Bruce collected the award at the glittering ceremony at The Marcliffe at Pitfodels. Entier ’stood out from the crowd’ in a category recognising company dedication to its people and commitment to creating a standout company culture.
Peter Bruce said, “Winning this award is truly the icing on the cake of an award-winning year for Entier. As the only company in the North-east to have achieved Investors in People Platinum status, as well as Investors in Young People Gold status, we are confident we are doing our best to deliver the best support possible to our people. Receiving the P&J Gold Award ‘Best Employer’ accolade is great recognition, of which I am extremely proud.”
As a company we are focussed on providing the best development opportunities and providing a nurturing working environment, as we recognise that it is only with the best people in place that we can offer the best service to our clients and customers.
The judging panel, made up of respected business leaders and academics, felt that Entier’s dedication to our people, exemplified through our ‘Fresh Olives’ apprenticeship programme, innovative recruitment approach and people development strategy, set us apart from the competition.
The evening, hosted by BBC Breakfast’s financial journalist Steph McGovern, was greatly enjoyed by all, who were treated to after-dinner speaker, Iron maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson.
This award is further affirmation of Entier’s industry leading commitment to its people. As ‘the local, global food family’, Entier recognises that our people are our greatest asset, and our efforts in this area have evidently paid off.
