100 million reasons to join Mackle Petfoods as company launches campaign to celebrate its petfood family.
Mackle Petfoods has launched a campaign to highlight the many opportunities for students, apprentices and graduates to join the company and become part of their global petfood family business. The company which produces 100 million units of petfood annually from its sites in Moy and Moygashel, has over 275 employees, with over a third of its workforce in training, development, undertaking studies and progressing their careers through continuous learning.
With major brands including Naturo, Brandy, Cat Club and private label, Mackle Petfoods creates over 50,000 tonnes of high quality, nutritious petfood annually, using the best locally sourced ingredients. The company employs staff across pet nutrition, marketing, finance, IT and sales, engineering, technical, production, and transport, and is constantly on the look out for placements, graduates and school leavers wanting to develop their career in food and nutrition, for pets! A series of nine videos across key areas of the business have been created featuring staff and apprentices across production, engineering, manufacturing, technical and new product development.
A new campaign featuring staff from within the company has been developed to highlight the breadth and opportunities that the company provides, and the importance of their roles, as well as the full support offered across training and career development to all staff who wish to develop their skills and knowledge. Featuring staff who are part of the petfood family for over 40 years through to new apprenticeships, the project led by the Managing Director, John Mackle, reflects his passion to have the best people in the business, and highlights how people are front and centre to the business success, and highlights the importance of manufacturing as a career.
Commenting on the project which launches on 6 May across local media, Zivana Bennett, HR Advisor, said; “For over five decades, Mackle Petfoods has been part of this local community, and this campaign reflects and celebrates our people, who make up and are central to the company and the family business. Our staff are made up from so many disciplines and from our newest recruit through to our longest serving colleague, everyone is a key part of what makes us as a team, and this has always been something the business has embraced, celebrated and continues to build on. We are continuously recruiting and welcoming new people to our team, and this campaign helps to share the diversity of roles, opportunity and potential careers that petfood manufacturing provides and how important people are within the company, they are the company!
Mackle Petfoods works alongside local Regional Colleges, CAFRE, Queens and Ulster Universities respectively to bring on students for placement, graduate roles and apprenticeships, and we are always on the look out for ambitious future leaders too. Anyone who wants to find out more about our multi award winning petfood family, can contact our HR team through the company website,” Zivana added.
