Wren Honey: A sustainable promise

We don’t just make kitchens…

Back in 2023, our gardener David spotted an opportunity to transform the fields surrounding our Howden factory into something special – a dedicated bee conservation site. With his expertise and a lot of care, our beekeeping journey began.

Today, we have nine thriving hives across our Howden and Barton sites, home to nearly half a million bees during the summer months. And this week, colleagues are enjoying a fresh batch of honey produced by our very own bees!

But the hives are just part of the story. Alongside them, we launched our ‘Trees for Bees’ initiative – planting over 400 bee- and pollinator-friendly trees, including more than 220 at Howden alone. We’ve also introduced dedicated wildflower areas at The Nest to expand foraging space and boost biodiversity across our sites.

It’s a small but meaningful way we’re investing in the ecosystems around us, creating richer habitats where pollinators can thrive.

From kitchens to conservation, we’re proud to play our part.
