LIFE AT FERRERO UK AND IRELAND
Since moving to the UK market almost 60 years ago, Ferrero has gone from strength and strength. We are proud of our values that guide us in our purpose to bring joy to people with our much loved brands including Nutella, Kinder, Tic Tac and Ferrero Rocher to mention just a few.
We are growing all the time. The acquisition of much loved chocolate maker, Thorntons, in 2015, made us the fourth largest confectionery manufacturer in the UK. In 2020 we acquired Eat Natural, the maker of high-quality cereal bars, toasted museli and granola.
More recently, in 2022, we acquired Fulfil, producers of high protein bars packed with 9 vitamins and a very low sugar content.

Ferrero UK & Ireland
We are united in our common purpose to bring joy to people with our much-loved products guided by the following pillars:
Company Culture
Our culture is driven by our rich heritage and our deep-rooted love for things to be done in the right way in our commitment to delight our consumers with the delicious products we make. Driven by a strong sense of belonging we create a community through company-wide events and opportunities to connect with colleagues at all levels and departments. In addition, our global presence fosters worldwide collaboration and diverse career opportunities.
Quality at Heart
Quality lies at the heart of everything we do and stand for. We care about quality and excellence, our heritage and our family values, our respect for the environment and the communities in which we work. It’s these details that matter to guarantee the experience of our unique products that help people to enjoy life’s special moments.
Health and Wellbeing
The wellbeing of our employees is our priority. That’s why we have fully trained mental health first aiders for those times when you need that bit of extra support. In addition, our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) provides confidential counselling and resources. Recognising the importance of giving back to the community, we also provide volunteering opportunities with our charity partner, FareShare, allowing employees to contribute to a meaningful cause while fostering a sense of purpose and fulfilment.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive culture in which all employees feel welcomed and appreciated and have the same opportunities. We believe all our people are equally talented in their own way and by nurturing the natural abilities of our employees, we provide them the means to succeed. The diversity of our talents is what makes our work environment multicultural, innovative and highly rewarding.
Sustainability
From start to finish, Ferrero’s commitment to sustainability is seen every single day at a company and an employee level. In addition, to consolidated efforts to raise environmental awareness among our team, we are committed to responsible sourcing of ingredients, reducing waste and optimising our energy conservation and recycling programmes.
