COOK Trading Ltd

We're an independent, family-owned company making and selling homemade frozen food. Visit our kitchens in Kent and Somerset (please do, you're welcome) and you'll find our chefs chopping, peeling, simmering and roasting just like good home cooks. It's how we make sure all our food looks and tastes homemade. We sell through 90 COOK shops nationwide, our website www.cookfood.net and branded concessions in 850+ retail partners. In 2013 we became one of the UK's first certified B Corps, working to reinvent business as a force for good. We believe energized individuals with a purpose can accomplish remarkable things. Our people are our superpower. Our RAW Talent scheme helps people into work after time in prison, homeless or suffering from mental ill health. As a top 100 Best Company To Work For we believe in enriching, inclusive workplaces where everyone can reach their full potential. We believe food has the unique power to bring people closer together. We foster rich human relationships in every dish we make. Our Kindness Fund works with local partners to get free COOK meals to isolated or vulnerable people. Our Community Discount gives 30% off our food for local events where people are eating together. We believe the best meals are cooked not processed. Through good cooking we reconnect food and farms, people and planet. Our kitchens and shops are carbon neutral and powered by renewable electricity. We've been recognised with five awards for animal welfare from Compassion In World Farming. We're committed to growing the amount of less carbon-intensive, plant-based meals we sell.
