Our Responsibility
Staff well-being and work-life balance
Health and Safety are at the heart of our operations and we take our responsibilities to employees very seriously. We have adopted a flat hierarchy and encourage all staff to get involved in what we do and to add value. Where possible, we offer flexible work schedules along with access to mental health support and a popular cycle-to-work scheme.
We offer fair pay to all employees. There are also clear and attainable progress routes for employees to develop skills through training and experience.
Our comprehensive Values Policy and supportive work culture are some of the reasons why we have many long-standing team members.
Diverse and Inclusive Workforce
We value, celebrate and embrace our diverse workforce. All employees and prospective employees receive equal opportunities. Ability is consistently recognised and encouraged to flourish and grow.
Aylesbury is a culturally diverse town and our employees are representative of our community. When recruiting, we look for transferable skills and attitudes that individuals have gained through experiences and interests outside of the workplace.
A diverse workforce makes us a better organisation.
Supporting Local Business
Aylesbury Box has grown and flourished as part of the Aylesbury and Thames Valley business community. For our first thirty years, nearly all of our clients were within 40 miles of Aylesbury. The transformation of commerce by the internet has helped everyone in the UK find out about us. This means we now send boxes all over the UK and further afield too.
However, supporting local businesses is still important. 80% of our purchases are with companies within 40 miles of Aylesbury. It’s the right thing to do to reduce our impact on the environment.
