VALUES & CULTURE

Deeside Cereals is proudly owned by the Weetabix Food Company. Acquired in December 2023.

Our Mission - We want to nourish the nation with better breakfasts that help them to live better lives, so we've made it our mission to delight consumers with great tasting, nutritious breakfasts produced with passion and excellence.

These are the behaviours that can fast-track us to where we want to be. They focus in on what makes us great AND how we can win more in the future. We're moving away from values as values implies you have to adopt a particular value set when you walk through our door, but we want you to embrace & be proud of your own values.

We just want to set a clear framework for the way we work together, our ‘ways of working' so we're setting ourselves up to win together.

Right Thing, Right Way
We Own It
Win Together
Great Work at Pace
Always Improving

We strive for 100% safety in every sense - for our people, partners, products & the plant. Our consumers & customers are at the heart of our choices, and we get up stream to fix things properly, rather than short lived solutions.
