The Flava People, a trailblazer in the food industry, is transforming dinner times by delivering innovative flavours that elevate meals to new culinary heights. With 50 years of experience in developing and manufacturing flavours, the company has earned a reputation for its unrivalled multi-channel expertise, passion for food, and commitment to delivering profitable and collaborative products. As food explorers, trend-spotters, flavour crafters, and production specialists, The Flava People are driven by a desire to change the way everyone experiences food.

To ensure employees thrive in their roles, The Flava People has established a work environment that promotes wellbeing and supports mental and physical health. Yoga sessions are regularly hosted to encourage physical activity and stress relief, fostering mindfulness and improved concentration.

Recognising the importance of work/life balance, The Flava People offers employees an additional holiday on their birthdays, allowing them to take a well-deserved break. To encourage a sense of fun and camaraderie, staff members are invited to wear specific colours or clothing to celebrate national and international days, such as International Day of Pink and Wear It Green Day during Mental Health Awareness Week.

The company also hosts food events to mark national holidays, providing an opportunity for employees to socialise and learn about different cultures. The Flava People supports its workforce by offering financial assistance, including significant wage awards, bonuses, and employee loans, to help staff cope with rising living costs and unforeseen financial challenges.

Quote from the top...
We’ve been making sauces and seasonings for nearly 50 years but it’s fair to say that without our great people we don’t create, manufacture, brand, cook or sell anything at all. We’re a family business and even though the business has changed hugely and we’re growing fast it’s essential we retain our family values as we scale. Best Companies to work for is a great way to help in ensuring that and to celebrate the amazing work that our Flava People do day in, day out.

Scott Dixon - Managing Director - The Flava People
