What our colleagues say
Every day there is something new to learn and this makes me want to push myself and learn more and more. I have been given the opportunity to prove myself and to show myself that I can do things that I thought I couldn’t do.
I can honestly say that I love my job and there is never a Monday morning when I wake up and dread going to work. I must really enjoy my job as I haven’t had a day off sick for 16½ years!
After completing my GCSEs, I entered the sixth form to start A-levels, but it just wasn’t for me so I returned to Boughey to work in the Packing Hall full-time in January 1989 and I’ve been here ever since!
Boughey feels like a family-run business. Driving with the company is a very secure job – working within the food industry, the company is always busy and there is a continuous and steady flow of work.
I joined the company straight after school at the age of 16 and I’m still here 15 years later! I left school in May 2005 and started work in August the same year on an agency contract handballing in the warehouse.
The working hours are good and the pay is good too. The managers do a great job and there are many opportunities to progress within the business.
