“Macphie is renowned for the passion of
its people. As well as ensuring the health
and general well-being of our team, it is
important to us that we reward staff for their

Alastair Macphie, Chief Executive
Macphie is the UK's leading family
owned food ingredients manufacturer
located on a beautiful estate. The
health, safety and well-being of its
staff are high on the agenda for Chief
Executive Alastair Macphie.
Macphie
encourages its staff to lead more
active lifestyles and volunteer their
time locally. The company does this
by covering entrance fees for sporting
events, providing opportunities for
staff to work with local schools, and
providing regular personal development
training opportunities.
It also maintains
a culture of learning and is seen as
a model of excellence in the field of
training and development. The modern
Glenbervie Centre is a great hub for
everyone in the company and houses
a staff restaurant, coffee bar, Learning
Centre, occupational health suite,
Visitor Centre and meeting rooms.
Monthly occupational health clinics
provide advice on health and fitness. At
Christmas the directors serve lunch to
the workforce.
