Acorn have been working in partnership with leading organic UK based manufacturer Yeo Valley since the summer of 2018.
Operating a complex 24/7 food manufacturing business in the South West of England, Acorn quickly established an account management team to support all 6 sites across Somerset and Devon.
This included opening a new dedicated branch in Weston Super Mare close to the largest manufacturing site and Headquarters in Blagdon.
Acorn provided onsite presence from Day 1 to ensure the smooth transfer of temporary workers and to increase the support provided to the Yeo Valley management team.
We increased the level of communication to help with workforce planning and provided detailed management information to identify trends in the local market.
Since the start of the contract Acorn have reduced the level of agency spend and place hundreds of workers in temporary to permanent roles with Yeo Valley.
This has enabled team leaders to see potential recruits in action over a number of weeks rather than replying purely on a series of interviews.
