Best Companies Awards
GA Pet Food is proud to have been awarded the Best Companies Best Companies “Very Good to Work For 2023 Award.”.
The b‐Heard Survey invites our colleagues to rate 70 statements regarding their well‐being, pay and benefits, personal growth, team, leadership, and much more. It is scored on a seven‐point scale that allows for more nuanced responses than either an agree/disagree model or a five‐point scale. Combined with Best Companies’ unique eight‐factor model, this approach provides GA Pet Food with a structured and accurate insight into how our colleagues feel. The b‐Heard Survey is strictly confidential, allowing our colleagues to give honest responses without fear of reprisal..
Once the survey is complete, GA receives a Best Companies Index (BCI) score, which measures workplace engagement. If the BCI score is sufficiently high, GA earns accreditation. The “Very Good to Work For 1‐Star Accreditation” is a significant achievement that demonstrates an organisation is taking workplace engagement seriously. Awarded to organisations with a BCI score of at least 659.5, the 1‐star accreditation signifies “very good” levels of workplace engagement.

Runshaw College Employer Partnership Board
As part of its commitment to working collaboratively with educational establishments in the vicinity of its sites, GA Pet Food is pleased to announce that it joined the Employer Partnership Board (EPB) of Runshaw College.
With campuses in both Leyland and Chorley, Runshaw College has been delivering outstanding teaching and learning since 1974, alongside providing exceptional pastoral care. Consequently, students have access to a wide range of opportunities and experiences designed to develop the skills necessary for higher education and employment.
The EPB was established to ensure that the college continues to offer courses and apprenticeships which advance its students and meet future labour market requirements. Runshaw is working with employers such as GA Pet Food – an integral part of the community – from various sectors, who can advise on industry trends, future skills needs, skills gaps, and opportunities. The combined professional input from these employers will inform Runshaw’s future curriculum plans. New courses and apprenticeship programmes will be researched and developed using this information, enabling Runshaw to offer the best possible provision to its students.
The purpose of the EPB is to:
- Share key industry information
- Identify future demand and skills shortages
- Enhance the curriculum and programmes (Sixth Form College, Adult College, and Apprenticeships)
- Provide curriculum intent and propose changes based on these findings.
I am delighted that GA Pet Food has become a member of the Employer Partnership Board at Runshaw College. We are proud to work in close collaboration with a broad range of employers so that we can fully understand and meet the future skills needs in our region. Our employer partners enhance and co-create the curriculum so that all our students (whether they are young people, adults or apprentices) are well-prepared for their role in the future workforce.
