“For such a large company, we’re proud to have a very low employee turnover. VEKA Group’s ethos is reflected in the values of VEKA ‘Spirit’ (Success, Pride, Integrity, Responsible, Improvement and Team) which staff have taken to heart over the last two years. Spirit has become the basis for all employer/employee interaction from recruitment to retirement, and everything in between.

“We conduct regular employee engagement surveys as we know that this feedback is key to making VEKA not just the business of choice for our customers, but for our employees too.

"With the majority of our 400-strong workforce living within the BB postcode, we’re very proud to be a leading Lancashire employer, committed to contributing to the local community and economy. We’re delighted to celebrate and reward an incredible 455 years of service, and look forward to seeing how many more staff will be joining the lunch this time next year.”
