Best Companies

2021 Update

Every year since 2012 we’ve asked everybody at COOK to fill out the annual Best Companies survey. It’s the best way we’ve found so far to measure the progress of our culture and we’ve been ranked as a Top 100 Best Company To Work For every year since 2013.

We passionately believe that better workplaces help create a better society and that our workplace culture ripples out and affects countless lives. Time and again we see evidence that the more we care for our people, the more they care for COOK and drive our business forwards. We believe everyone, regardless of their background or education, can play a valuable role at COOK. We are a community of all shapes, sizes, odds and sods who come together to do something important that we couldn’t hope to achieve alone. To find out a bit more about our culture click here.

In 2021 – the year of Covid-19 and the most challenging we’ve ever had – we were thrilled to retain the very top, three-star rating for the fifth year running and be ranked #29 out of all big companies. What’s more, we were the #1 Best Food & Drink Company To Work For and received a special award for Giving Something Back in recognition of over 200,000 meals donated to vulnerable people during the pandemic and our RAW Talent programme that helps people rebuild their lives through the security of a good job. that helps people trying to rebuild their lives back into the security of a decent job.

We know that creating better workplaces is a team sport and love sharing ideas with other organisations. Goodness knows we’ve learnt a lot along the way – and continue to do so! – so please feel free to get in touch if it sounds like we’re on the same wavelength. Email us at PeopleTeam@cookfood.net.
