Hectare is a fast-growing technology company rooted in agriculture. It has a team of more than 40 people based around the UK. Founded in 2015, it has become one of the UK’s leading online marketplaces for livestock and grain.

Hectare has supported more than 125,000 British agricultural businesses and last year launched a suite of software-as-a-service products to further its mission to transform the agriculture industry digitally and create environmentally sustainable supply chains.

At the business's heart is a diverse and inclusive workforce — its "herd" — which has a shared belief that different perspectives bring fresh ideas and better solutions.

At monthly all-hands meetings, senior leaders nominate colleagues to be recognised for their efforts and contributions in the Amaze of the Month section. They share stories about how nominees and winners have lived the company's values in their work. The wider team is encouraged to nominate peers, setting the tone for how the company works and behaves as individuals and as a collective.

Twice-yearly events held in wow-factor locations provide the perfect opportunity for Hectare's herd to workshop ideas, have their say on strategy and forge stronger relationships with colleagues through team-building.

Hectare understands the value of a good work-life balance from day one and has always been a remote-first organisation. It’s not uncommon for employees to work from abroad, or even in camper vans across the UK’s coastline.
