Iceland Golf Day On Thursday 12th September, 17 colleagues from Keelings attended Iceland's annual charity golf day at Carden Park in Cheshire, an event which was raising money for the charity CALM.   The event is organised by Iceland Food Charitable Foundation (IFCF) and this is the third year in a row Keelings have sponsored this event, with a stand serving some nutritious and refreshing smoothies, with some delicious sample pots of berries.   These events are a great opportunity for us to work with our customers, whilst helping to support those in need, aligning with our Better Food Better World purpose. CALM (Campaign against Living Miserably) are a UK based charity who work tirelessly to prevent suicide and provide mental health support.   Thank you to all those who attended the day and to those that organised the event. We look forward to continuing our work with Iceland and the continued opportunity to support meaningful causes. #charity #CSR #Keelings #Iceland #CALM #IFCF

Graduation Team 2023 We are delighted to share that our team of 13 graduates have completed their Professional Diploma in Competence with flying colours, as we look to welcome this years cohort.   The course, which was run in partnership with IBEC and TUD was a 6 month course, which focused on developing both management and professional competency skills, essential for succeeding in business today. There was 12 modules in total covering Leadership, Project Management, Finance, Strategy and Commercial Awareness as well as Communication and Personal Development skills.   In addition, the graduates also set goals as part of their overall learning process. It’s fantastic to hear the great feedback from the cohort, commenting how the course has been a great help to them as they continue to develop in their roles. #Keelings #nextgeneration #graduates #professionaldevelopment

We are delighted to share that our Retail business was recently awarded the ISO45001 accreditation, demonstrating our commitment to the highest standards of health and safety management.   ISO45001 provides a framework for organisations to improve workplace health & safety, reduce risks, and create safer working conditions. This accreditation is open to all organisations, not just those in the fresh produce industry. It focuses on proactive risk prevention and continual improvement.    This fantastic achievement was a company-wide initiative, and it would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of our teams, well done to everyone involved! #Keelings #ISO45001 #Keelingsretail #healthandsafety

This summer our teams in the UK are helping to support those in need in the community, donating packs of nutritious fresh produce to a local library.   Over the last three weeks, since the partnership began, we have donated 12 boxes of fruit and vegetables to the Burton Latimer Library, which is local to our offices in the UK. The produce that we donate will go towards family food packs that the library offers over the summer to those in need in the local community.   We are delighted to be able to support local communities and charities to provide food to those in need, helping them to enjoy the delicious taste of healthy, nutritious food.   #Keelings #corporatesocialresponsibilty #localcommunities #Betterfood
