Viomar Group’s Food Division had the privilege of hosting Sharon Doherty, Chief People and Places Officer at Lloyds Banking Group, during her recent visit to Birmingham. Food Division, a key pillar of Viomar Group, has become a shining example of how innovation and community impact can work hand in hand to drive business success.

Sharon’s visit provided an opportunity to showcase the incredible growth and vision of Food Division, which now employs over 250 people and continues to scale rapidly. As she toured the facilities, Sharon witnessed the operational excellence and commitment to quality that underpin everything we do. From supply chain processes to the way we prioritise the wellbeing of our employees, Food Division stands as a testament to what can be achieved when passion and purpose align.

One highlight of the visit was a discussion about the company’s commitment to paying a living wage and supporting the personal growth of its employees. Stories like that of one team member, who is now on the verge of buying her first home, exemplify the positive impact the business has on individuals and communities.

Sharon’s reflections during her visit underscored the vital role businesses like ours play in supporting the UK economy. Her enthusiasm for helping businesses like Food Division scale up and make a lasting difference resonates deeply with our mission.

Shaun Sookoo, CEO, commented, “As part of Viomar Group, Food Division is not only focused on growth but also on being a force for good in the communities we serve. With the support of organisations like Lloyds Banking Group, we are confident in our ability to continue to expand whilst staying true to our core values.”
