a better future

As I celebrate 35 years working at Macphie this year, I’m proud of the positive impact we have made on the people and places which make this business so special.

Despite a backdrop of global economic uncertainty, we continue to innovate and drive improvements to the benefit of our customers and review our employee packages to make sure our people receive support that’s relevant in today’s world. From the start of April, we’re expanding our leisure subsidy scheme to give employees more opportunity to claim money back on what they enjoy doing in their spare time.

This year we celebrate 50 years in Glenbervie and it’ll be an occasion for all to enjoy including our current employees, their families and our retired employees who have played a key role in our success. And as we reflect on the last 50 years, it’s time to look to the next 50.

Running this business is, and always has been, about creating sustainable wealth and opportunity for the local community, not short-term gains for shareholders.

We look forward to growing our team further with the recruitment of over 30 new operators as we expand our product capabilities in Glenbervie. And to give back to the community, we’re launching the “£50K for 50th year” campaign, which will see us donate £50,000 to local charities and community groups.

The environmental projects started this year will take shape in 2023/24, creating the foundations for a more sustainable operation in the future.

Macphie is governed by a robust and fair system which considers all stakeholders. Our family ownership structure and our B Corp status holds us to account while providing inspiration from like-minded companies to help us build a better future for our customers, our people, our communities and our environment.”
