Westmill is a dynamic, fast-paced and target-driven environment with a unique family feeling. A friendly, culturally and ethnically diverse environment, where no one feels like a new person for long and everybody has the chance to make a real difference to the business.
At Westmill, we see ourselves as more than just co-workers; we believe that organising events and spending time together is invaluable for enhancing teamwork and collaboration.
We are also deeply committed to the cultures represented by our diverse range of people, products, customers and brands. This commitment drives us to give back to the communities who love our products and celebrate our diversity. We believe that by fostering positive relationships and partnerships with these communities, we can help preserve cultural heritage whilst promoting economic growth and sustainability.
Our social and community activities also allows us to participate, connect and enjoy each other’s company while celebrating cultural events throughout the year. It’s meaningful, important, and, most importantly, a lot of fun!
Diversity & Inclusion
At Westmill we pride ourselves on our passion for food and people, where collaboration, diversity, and inclusion are integral in everything that we do. This is underpinned with our employee resource groups where members and allies help create an inclusive environment and special events are celebrated. We have six employee resource groups; Celebrating Ethnic Diversity, LGBTQ+, Women in Westmill, Disability and Neurodiversity, Sustainability and Mental Health First Aiders.
Westmill is a place where no one feels like the new person for long and everyone has the chance to make a real difference to the business by being their authentic selves.
Celebrating Communities
Our mission is to give back to the communities in which we operate and to those who consume our products. Through the Westmill Celebrating Communities Programme, we donate a selection of our delicious products to community meal programs and food bank events. Additionally, each person at Westmill is encouraged to dedicate one day each year to volunteer for a charity of their choice.
Career Development
At Westmill, the development of our people is one of our top priorities. We invest significantly in training and equipping our people with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in their roles. Each year, we dedicate an entire month to career development, where we offer a wide range of workshops, panel discussions, and mentorship opportunities aimed at helping individuals map out their career paths and achieve their professional goals.
By prioritising our people’s growth, we are investing in a brighter future for both our people and our business.
Twice a year, selected cohorts of our leaders participate externally in our “Leaders of Tomorrow” programme. (see picture for last cohort)
Our Values
At Westmill, our five core values are fundamental to what we do and how we do our roles. The commitment to living our values is evidenced in our annual Value Awards. Every quarter, we open a nomination window during which we receive an abundance of nominations for each value for people across all functions. In 2024, we received over 400 nominations. Our winners are then selected and celebrated at each site. We are proud to have such dedicated people at Westmill and see so many of our people living the Westmill values every day.
