Meet the Broadbents: the entire family working at Mars Petcare in Leeds 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Phillip and Joanna work on the factory floor. Their children, Jordan and Austin, are based in the office. And Austin’s partner, Gabrielle, is part of it too.

“Mars is an extension of our family now. We’re just the same at home as we are here. Everyone knows us as the Broadbents.”

“It was Joanna who started here first, years ago. We all joined one by one, because we all felt Mars was a great place to work. We’ve been here ever since”.

There’s the proof that when you feel supported, valued and secure, it’s not just a job - it’s a place your whole family can grow into.

What does more sustainable seafood look like in practice? 🌊

At Mars, we work with organisations including WWF to support our seafood sourcing approach and help advance efforts focused on ocean health. For pet food, this means continuing to look closely at where ingredients come from and how they are sourced.

It’s now been one month since Battersea Dogs & Cats Home and Mars helped to shape legislation in England that gives tenants the right to request pets in their homes!

This is a huge win for countless animals still waiting for a place to call home.

It’s all part of our commitment to tackling pet homelessness worldwide, we’ll continue working to build a society where all pets are welcomed, supported and loved.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re recognizing the Associates who help create a culture of care and support across Mars Petcare.

In Leeds, Alison McCorry balances her role as an S&T Future Product Technologies Scientist with being a Mental Health First Aider — helping Associates feel heard, supported and connected to the right resources when they need them.

💬 “Mental health doesn’t always look obvious. Sometimes people simply need someone to listen without judgment. Being a Mental Health First Aider is about helping Associates feel heard and supported” says Alison.

Through initiatives like Be Well Together, we’re continuing to make wellbeing part of everyday conversations.

Our Mental Health ARG Co Lead, Dawn Kirk, stated, “At Mars, we believe in a holistic approach to wellbeing, creating an environment where every Associate is empowered to be healthy, energized, and happy, not just at work, but in every aspect of their lives. When our Associates truly thrive, we collectively build the world we want tomorrow.”
