Here’s what our staff say…

I joined Watts Farms in March 2019 after spending 20 years working in the manufacturing industry, and within 7 months I had been promoted to Warehouse Team Leader on the day shift!

It's a really varied role with lots to get done ready for the night shift - they rely on us to make sure the warehouse is clean and well stocked ready for a busy night picking orders to send out to our customers, so making sure my team get everything ready is a vital part of the Watts Farms business.
