Bennett Opie Ltd produce a delicious range of pickles, home baking and cocktail garnish products for customers in the UK and around the world. We’re also the UK importer for MONIN syrups, Coco Lopez and Alain Milliat juices and nectars. Founded in 1880, we are one of the oldest private family-owned food companies in the country – in fact, we’re still family run to this day. Put simply, our passion is quality food. Some of our well-loved products under the Opies brand include gherkins, pickled walnuts, cocktail cherries, stem ginger, fruits with alcohol and many more. From our offices and manufacturing site we supply many of the major supermarkets including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrison’s, ASDA, Waitrose, Marks & Spencer and hold long-standing relationships with many independent retailers, wholesalers and foodservice customers. OUR TEAM: If you were to ask anyone who works here why it’s such a great place to be, we’ve no doubt they will say it’s our people who make us what we are. Our team is friendly, informal and approachable which drives our collaborative and innovative culture – we come together to work through challenges, and to celebrate our successes. We appreciate that every one of us brings a unique set of skills and knowledge to the business, so we actively encourage independence of thought and collectively strive for continuous improvement. We’re really proud of the fact that over 20% of employees have been with us for 10 years or more, with length of service averaging 14 years per employee. In a recent engagement survey, 82% agreed that Bennett Opie Ltd was a good place to work. INVESTING IN OUR PEOPLE: We recognise and listen to our employees and value the contribution they make – after all we couldn’t do what we do without them. We’re believers in investing in people to help them be the best they can be. Training reviews form part of our regular employee appraisals, and we welcome and encourage training opportunities put forward by all individuals.
