Harlech Foodservice one of UK's best places to work
Harlech Foodservice, which has a base in Carmarthen, earned a spot on The Sunday Times' 2025 list of the best employers. The company operates across south west Wales, including Pembrokeshire. Laura Griffiths, Harlech's key account manager, said: "I started with Harlech in February last year and the company being family-owned was one of the reasons I joined. "In the time I have been here for example I have had a promotion. "I came in as a business development manager and then had my promotion in April this year. "I think that strategy of promoting from within is one of the reasons why Harlech was listed in the Sunday Times as one of the best places to work." The Sunday Times described Harlech Foodservice as a business that 'cares passionately about the morale of its 245-strong workforce,' noting that 20 per cent of employees were promoted internally last year. The company also offers staff discounts, a pension scheme, a cycle-to-work programme, a wellbeing scheme and a Christmas hamper. David Cattrall, managing director, said: "I am chuffed to bits quite honestly. "We have been driving sales growth in the last couple of years and to make it happen we knew the first thing we had to do was invest in our people, and strengthen our people from top to bottom." He said the company's family-owned roots remain central to its identity. Mr Cattrall said: "What we try to maintain as we grow is that small business feeling where everybody knows each other. "We want people to be able to speak to each other, it's that small family feel that we are trying to maintain. "We don't want to lose that informality you get in a small business." He said the company prioritises promoting staff from within. Mr Cattrall said: "I'm very keen on making sure that new opportunities are offered to people within the company first, so they can grow and prosper." The Sunday Times recognition comes just months after Harlech was named best UK food wholesaler by The Caterer magazine. Zoe Thomas, editor of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work, said: "The Sunday Times Best Places to Work list is the UK's biggest survey of employee engagement, compiled in partnership with workplace expert WorkL. "These organisations know that happy employees are the superpower helping them thrive."
