Creed-Foodservice

My day consists of placing orders for stock needed throughout the business across our two depots. When joining the Inventory and Supply chain team, it was a complete change to what I was used to doing. I had to learn all aspects of the job. I also have to deal with stock adjustments, stock management and moving stock between the two depots. I also play a part in booking in deliveries into the business, making sure that deliveries turn up on time and into the correct depot. My manager is very supportive to the team, and is easily approachable when problems arise. The team that I work in is only a small team, but they are fun, easy to get on with and we all get on really well, and we will all help each other when needed. I would say the hardest part of the job is coping with large customers that do not provide forecasts for what they will be selling. 
The most enjoyable part of the job would be, no day is ever the same, you never know what the next telephone call or email is going to be. Also the team make the day fun and enjoyable.

The work at Creed is extremely varied, you have opportunities to get involved in different projects and people of all levels are involved in crucial decision making through working groups (e.g Sustainability, SharePoint, Creed Exceed, Insights workshops).
Other managers, HR and directors are really supportive and helpful, they are always willing to make time to talk to you about anything and want to know about your ideas on how to improve the business. Listening, coaching and mentoring are key approaches of senior management who believe that the people employed to do the job are the best people to make decisions about how to improve the work and the environment.
Really proactive positive approach, focus on investing in the future and a continuous improvement culture where you are empowered to make decisions, improvements and to shape the next step for your career.

Routing ain’t the best at the moment. Working long days, some days I don’t get home to see the kids to bed depending on what route has been given. I’ve almost been here a year an not sure I’ll stay forever, management always second guess you, assume if somethings gone wrong it’s your fault, any mistakes made by warehouse, drivers are left to pick up the slack (happens more than it should). Long days, no understanding or sympathy will say sorry about that then do it again.


Apart from all that once you know the routes your going to and continue to go to, things get so much easier and some of the managers will try help with long hours, sometimes. Unfortunately, creed are getting to big for there boots and are struggling with the amount of customers at the moment there taking on, hopefully things will improve but. To round it off I think there a much better company to work for than others I was worked for. Even the ones that had it together. 

Creed is a family run business and it feels like that to work there too. I was in an office based role and although the other depots are far away you do still feel like a team as the company sometimes has events (such as the family fun day) to bring the depot's together.

The atmosphere is relaxed and you are able to wear casual clothing. Their approach to work is flexible and I was able to request hours that suited my family. 

- Every day is different and they have regular engagement days to keep things interesting.
- It is a great place to learn and develop - they are happy to put people on training courses to advance their skills and knowledge.
- The management really care about their staff and there is no 'them and us' divide.
- The culture is friendly and relaxed. 

Would recommend Creed as a great place to develop your career.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Before they employed liars and became deceitful 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Having directors who lied and manipulated you for their gain and even when you told them about mental health issues they used them against you

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Fake! They have values that at least 50% of the board do not support and they consistently post about people but they don’t believe it?!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The people away from directors and senior managers were great but very micro managed no direction and leaders who have no idea! Expect you to lie to customers and each other ! Toxic and very depressing

Working in a small but very busy office it can be very challenging, but no trouble for hard workers.The team are close and bring fun into your working day. There are plenty of opportunities for internal progression for people who earn it and show an eagerness to push themselves. Having worked for various large corporations its refreshing to work for a family company that cares for its employees and this shows in the recently awarded Sunday Times Best Companies to work for 2020.

Started out as a nice family run business with a caring ethos , but over the last couple of years it has changed dramatically.  Think a poor man's bidfood !! Unachievable rounds , very very poor loading ! Cages over loaded and in very poor condition , (lucky to have 4 wheels sometimes).  Management made very poor decisions during Covid making some redundant when they could of furloughed , they are now trying to re employ people without experience.  New drivers have been lasting a week before leaving , but managers don't see a problem ??  You can be given a run with 7 hours min driving without doing any of your 8-10 jobs , impossible !!

This job that I came to was for 5 years and a real pleasure to enjoy. Hard Graft, challenging, but they let you handle it within parameters.
There were certainly "let your hair down" days, but you were there to do a job. There were evening events that were quite fun, and great to meet our contacts, though it was obligatory.
We also received occasional perks of food, wrong labels etc at cost price.
Finally they decided to restructure which I think added work to my job, I was already at stretching point.
One sad reason for leaving was,personal circumstances demands, clashing with work demands saw me take the redundancy option


Absolute joke of a company, taking on too many customers always over your 'contracted hours' running drivers into exhaustion don't believe them about work life balance and caring about your mental health because they don't.

Loading of the trucks are dreadful routes are too long if you finish a route in 9ish hours they will add more the following week.

Having to work through your unpaid breaks to get around the route within time and coming in before clock in time to sort your load unpaid

A sinking ship

Avoid

After a really good interview and a few weeks in the cab with other drivers it seemed really promising that was until I got my own route, the locations you're expected to deliver to are sometimes down single track roads that make driving an 18 tonne lorry incredibly stressful.

The lorries are poorly looked after and management try to get you to fix the truck when it breaks down! the routing is awful and you're always loaded with more cages than when you asked.

Really put me off working as food carrier.
