The company\u2019s latest project, a major refurbishment of its Crewe-based logistics hub, demonstrates its ongoing support for employees across the North-West of England. As Logistics Director, Laura Bailes, reveals: \u201cOur cutting-edge facility in Crewe is an embodiment of JTI\u2019s larger mission to positively impact surrounding communities, by revitalizing industry and offering career opportunities.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThe refurbishment at Crewe has had a transformative effect on our working culture. By investing in modern, collaborative spaces and upgraded facilities, JTI has reinforced its commitment to employee wellbeing and empowerment.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThe refreshed environment fosters openness, innovation, and a stronger sense of community. Employees share with us that they are feeling more valued and engaged, with the space encouraging cross-functional collaboration and more dynamic ways of working. It\u2019s not just a facelift; it\u2019s a cultural shift that is putting JTI employees first.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These refurbishments were made as part of a collaboration between JTI\u2019s team in Crewe and the company leaders. Employees at the Crewe facility played a central role throughout the process \u2014 providing early-stage feedback, offering design support, and pilot testing new processes.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As Laura details: \u201cThe result is a space that feels co-created, and tailored to how teams work and interact. This inclusive approach has driven a strong sense of ownership and pride across the site and champions the values that make JTI a Global Top Employer.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This synergistic approach ensured that JTI delivered a best-in-class logistics facility, reflecting the company\u2019s global standards for innovation and quality. As Laura adds: \u201cThroughout the course of this project we\u2019ve been able to create a working environment that enhances operational efficiency, improves employee experience, and supports our sustainability goals.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cOur mission was to invest in the UK logistics network, as well as the staff who have served our operation here for so long.

It\u2019s a physical embodiment of JTI\u2019s values, which include innovation and collaboration. The site is now a destination for cross-functional visits, leadership tours, and supplier engagement, reinforcing its role as a flagship location within the UK market,\u201d Laura asserts.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe\u2019re a global business, and our recent commitments to the UK market are just the beginning.

Laura affirms: \u201cWe\u2019re focused on long-term investments over short-term victories. \u201cTransparency is important to us &#8211; we want to create a culture where customers, staff, and stakeholders feel informed and empowered.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWorking culture is also important to us. We strive for equality and diversity across our operation. In the UK, we are deeply committed to community engagement, having partnered with over 23 charities and non-profit organizations nationwide.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThis is a value we aim to embed throughout the business. More than 70 percent of our employees take part in volunteer work through JTI, reflecting our culture of giving back and amplifying underrepresented voices.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cLooking ahead, we want to further strengthen that culture as one of the central drivers behind the work we do.
