Blakemore Logistics places great emphasis upon its responsibilities in regards to the workplace, marketplace, environment and the communities it serves. 

As a food distributor it is vital that we make our operation as efficient as possible, whether through the energy efficiency of our warehouses or the fuel efficiency of our vehicle fleet. 

Waste is another key area of consideration for us and we have invested £700,000 in the establishment of a comprehensive recycling centre aimed at reducing the environmental impact of our business and that of our SPAR retailers. 

Our operation is ISO 14001 certificated in regards to its Environmental Management System and has ISO 9001 certification for Quality Management and the BRC Food Storage and Distribution standard. 

We have also invested £85,000 in energy saving lighting across the company’s ambient and chilled warehouses to help improve energy efficiency and reduce the company’s carbon footprint.

Our employees are also vitally important to us, and in 2010 Blakemore Logistics achieved Silver Investors in People accreditation.  In addition to our stringent health and safety processes we have developed an award winning health and wellbeing programme for our staff. 

During the 2009/10 and 2010/11 financial years our colleagues donated 2,065 hours of time to community volunteering projects, which involved around 20% of the workforce.
