The Cartwright & Butler Family

Being a family owned business is built into the way we operate and comes from 115 years of family heritage – and family is very much the way we consider everyone that works with us. Our culture is key to our ongoing succes. A healthy, proactive and happy culture enables us to do great work, delight our customers and lead to fulfilling working lives for all of our employees. It all starts with our workforce, we want you to feel safe, empowered and engaged in your role. We operate an open and honest workplace, with room to grow in your chosen field, whether it be warehousing, marketing or sales. We work hard, we want to take pride in what we do, but we are humble about it. We leave egos at the door.

Oh and it’s not essential that you like to dunk a good biscuit in your tea, but it helps! There’s always plenty to enjoy…

Passion For Winning

We have a healthy dissatisfaction with the status quo. It has to be challenged. We question, challenge, invent and innovate as we strive to be better in everything we do, be it recipes, work practices, products or experiences.
We pursue exceptional: Good is simply not good enough, instead we strive for excellence in everything we do.
Whether it’s in the products me make, the ingredients we source, the people we employ or the companies we partner with, it is the exceptional that we look for.
We have a compelling desire to improve and to win in the marketplace and make a difference in peoples lives.

Teamwork

We respect our colleagues, customers and consumers, and treat them as we want to be treated.
We have confidence in each other’s capabilities and intentions.
We believe that people work best when there is a foundation of trust.
“We” is always greater than “I”: No one person has all the answers. No one person a monopoly on being right. So, to ensure that we make more right decisions more often than not, we work collaboratively, free of hierarchy, ego and status. We believe everyone has a voice an everyone deserves to be heard.

We take pride in creating excellent work, but we’re not proud in the way we do it.
We stay curious, are open to learning and continually improve how we operate. We put others before ourselves.
We make decisions based on what s best for the business and we are not driven by our own egos.
We actively listen to others, we don’t try to dominate a conversation or talk over people.
We are not only receptive to constructive criticism, but actively seek it.
We know that feedback is a path to improvement.

Our People Matter

Our employees are our most important assets and we work hard to ensure our employees’ well-being and mental health are a priority.
