Nursery offers solution to help staff beat the heat
Johnsons of Whixley has pulled out all the stops to help staff beat the heat during the latest wave of hot weather sweeping the UK.
The horticultural nursery, which is based equidistant between York and Harrogate, has purchased and installed freezers at key locations through its 200-acre site – and filled them with complimentary ice creams and ice lollies for staff to enjoy.
Johnsons of Whixley group managing director, Graham Richardson, said: “We recognise the hard work of staff throughout our business, but those that work outside are obviously finding the heat heavy going at the moment.
“We value the wellbeing and happiness of our staff more than anything, so we were glad to make a small investment in freezers and ice lollies to help provide some cooling respite from the searing temperatures.”
Johnsons of Whixley is a family-run business, first established in 1921, and one of the largest commercial nurseries in Europe.
