Spotlight on… Hunt’s Food Group

Spotlight on… Hunt’s Food Group

Hunt’s roots are deeply intertwined with farming – a similarity that hasn’t gone unnoticed at Wytch Wood, making them a perfect supplier to the Wytch’s Kytchen.

 

Dating back to the 1900s, the business started as a dairy farm and now operates as a coldstore out of six sites across the Southwest and covers frozen, chilled, ambient and natural food products.

 

A big part of Hunt’s Food Group ethos, and one that resonates particularly well with us, is their unrelenting commitment to sustainability and charitable giving. Hunt’s remains family-owned today and maintains its vision of being a business that manufactures, sells and delivers great-tasting food that’s loved by everyone; which is why we are more than happy to use and stock the Hunt’s products.

Hunt’s are market leading and take every care possible to ensure high-quality products and a reliable service. To reflect Hunt’s dedication, they work to the highest of standards with various accreditations and policies such as:

 

    • Being a Certified B Corporation Company – demonstrating
      their ongoing commitment to using their business to positively impact colleagues, customers, communities and the planet.

 

    • Gaining the organic accreditation from the Soil Association, the UK’s leading membership charity campaigning for healthy, humane and sustainable food, farming and land use.

 

    • Achieving an A Grade at all sites that have the BRCGS Global Standard for Storage and Distribution certification, a leading global scheme recognised internationally as a badge of quality in all parts of the world. ​The BRCGS Global Standard for Storage and Distribution ensures the safety of products is maintained at all times during the manufacturing, storage and distribution of food.

 

    • Achieving an A Grade at all sites that have the BRCGS Global Standard for Food Safety ensuring the safety of products is maintained at all times during the manufacturing, storage and distribution of food.

 

    • RSPCA Assured is the RSPCA’s farm animal welfare assurance scheme. All farms on the RSPCA Assured scheme must comply with the RSPCA’s stringent higher welfare standards.

 

    • Achieving the Red Tractor logo which is only found on British food and drink products that have been responsibly sourced, safely produced and come from crops and animals that have been well-cared for.

 

    • They have developed an ethos of environmental responsibility by monitoring and reducing the environmental impact of the business. Hunt’s actively pursue reductions in packaging volumes, product wastage and comply with guidelines on packaging recycling. All possible paper, cardboard and plastic wrap is recycled. Their Sherborne Ammonia refrigerant has an ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) rating of O.

 

    • Improving fuel efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. They minimise the impact of their operations with new fleet technology. Telematic technology enables them to improve fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions along with Adblue added to the fleet of HGV’s to reduce harmful gases being emitted.​

One of the main aims of Wytch Wood Camping is to have as little environmental impact on the site as possible. This is just one of the reasons we are a firm advocate of Hunt’s Food Group.

 

We scrutinised their use of packaging, production methods and their own commitment to the environment before we went ahead and approached them to be a supplier to Wytch Wood.

 

You will now find Hunt’s Food products used in our pizza ingredients, picnic packs, breakfast packs, and shop.

 

The green agenda at Hunt’s?

 

To make their business operations sustainable so they are here for generations to come.

 

The Hunts ethos mimics ours – they understand there is no plan B and want to create a cleaner, greener way of operating. The success of their team, the quality of the products they sell and the environment they live in are key to making their business and industry a success for the next generation.

 

Hunt’s Food Group have committed to reducing their operating emissions and producing renewable energy to become a carbon neutral business by 2025.
