GA Pet Food Partners would like to extend its heartfelt condolences to The Royal Family as we join the nation in mourning the loss of our beloved Monarch, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

We use the highest quality human grade ingredients in our pet food.

Only fisheries that we know and trust supply us with fresh, refrigerated salmon.

This week we received a shipment of fresh salmon, and we could not resist sharing this image with you.

Salmon is a great source of omega-3 essential fatty acids, which help keep our pets' skin and coat in good condition and promote joint health.

We place great importance on our contribution to the local community.

To inspire a career in science and technology, we are establishing links with local schools within our area. As part of this, students from Stanley High School visited us last month.

Many of our colleagues from different departments spent time with the children, showing them inside our laboratories, meeting our robots and learning about all the fantastic careers in science and technology.

Did you know?

Our journey to produce the world's finest pet food began 30 years ago, when we produced wheat and put it in a machine on the back of a tractor to make a granular meal.

We started with 5 workers on the farm and have now grown to employ over 850 colleagues based solely on our farm and at our two warehouses.

To this day, we continue to run our family business from our original farm in Bretherton, as we believe in our agricultural heritage.

This picture was taken last week on our farm, where the combine season has started.

29/07/2022

At GA, we are constantly looking to innovate and revolutionise the way we work. It is a culture of continuous improvement.

Collaborating with our suppliers Concetti S.P.A and SYMACH our new large pack line was designed and installed.

The line utilises highly specialised systems combining X-ray with magnetic field induction to detect any metal contamination as well as other foreign bodies; CO2 Lasers for the coding of the bags to reduce ink usage and conserve the environment and a "thermographic camera" to ensure the integrity of the seals.

It is now possible to pack 13 bags per minute, giving our partners the very best for their packaging.

20/07/2022

Watch the Red Rose Awards interview with Roger our Chairman, following GA's success in the Large Business Category, created by Bigtank Productions in collaboration with Lancashire Business View.

Roger sets out how we are competing to be unique in manufacturing the Worlds Finest Pet Food and explains it is the people within GA that make it happen.

We are very proud of all our colleagues at GA, working their way up through our company to achieve great things.

12/07/2022

We recently had 10 partners join us on a tour around GA's manufacturing facility. On the tour, they found out more about the unique Freshtrusion process. They saw how the fresh meat arrives and the science and logistics behind their own brand of pet food.

It was great to see so many partners interested in the development of their pet food and understanding the nutritional benefits it provides for their customer's pets.

08/07/2022

To help inspire the next generation and to demonstrate the many opportunities working in manufacturing offers, GA is working closely with local schools and colleges to spend time educating our future generations.

Stanley High School today spent time in our Laboratories and looking at our robots. They also had talks with our apprentices and work placement students to hear about the many opportunities that GA has to offer.

30/06/2022

Last weekend we spent the day celebrating the GA Family at our Family Fun Day.

It was great to meet everyone who attended and have everyone participate in such a fantastic event.

Take a look at our video to see all the teams go head-to-head and celebrate in the true GA Family way.

21/06/2022

Each year at GA we hold a Family Fun day for our colleagues, giving us all a chance to celebrate together the work we do. We have been holding our family fun day the last 30 years on our farm next to our manufacturing site.

We are looking forwards to see all our colleagues and their families next week.

13/06/2022

Here at GA, we are a family business and everything we do is as a family. It is important to us to show our families what we do every day to make and deliver the World's Finest Pet Food.
It was fantastic to meet everyone and show the children of GA colleagues what we do at work each day.

10/06/2022

We are honoured to have received the Large Business award last night at the Red Rose Awards.

This is a huge achievement for GA recognising our ambition and innovation. We are proud to bring this award back to Bretherton for all our colleagues to see.

28/05/2022

At GA, we are aware that to grow we need to work collaboratively with experts. We work with experts from all over the world to produce the world's finest pet food. Sharing our knowledge and working with others to grow, develop and learn.

27/05/2022

We wish to partner with our local residents of Bretherton on a mutual journey to change the way we heat and power our homes and businesses. We would do this by converting from our current reliance on carbon fuels to the use of locally generated electrical power from renewable wind and solar resources. We invited residents to our manufacturing site to hear their views on our mutual proposal.

22/05/2022

It was a pleasure to see all of our GA colleagues and their families during our grand opening this weekend. The work all our colleagues do is fundamental to our future and ongoing success. We couldn’t do it without our GA family.

21/05/2022

We want to thank all the Local Residents who attended today. We hope you found our open day informative and that you're ready to join us on our mutual journey to Net-Zero

20/05/2022

Today we celebrated the contractors, suppliers, and GA colleagues that worked tirelessly to make our Ingredients Kitchen a reality. We couldn't have done it without your dedication, determination, and ongoing support.

18/05/2022

We currently have three beehives on-site. This significantly increases the ecology at Plocks Farm, which means an increase in pollination and habitat growth.

17/05/2022

We have invested £9 million in our state-of-the-art odour abatement system, which has resulted in a significant reduction in all odours. This is achieved with our five large bio-beds that scrub the air clean before releasing it back into the atmosphere.

16/05/2022

We use specialised avian control at Plocks Farm by utilising the expertise of the falconers at Horus Birds of Prey. This is a natural, non-invasive way of deterring pests.

15/05/2022

On-site, we recycle and reuse all of our water on-site via our two water waste treatment works. This allows all site water to be recycled and reused for irrigating the bio-beds, wet scrubbers and even water for hosepipes.

14/05/2022

We always want to make sure that we are helping to support and protect the local wildlife. We have put in 13 bird boxes around our site to provide areas of safety for our local birdlife.

13/05/2022

We understand that people living in a small village community value peace. We have recently built acoustic walls all around Plocks Farm to reduce the noise. We also reroute our lorries so they do not disturb the local village.

12/05/2022

We planted 22,000 trees and shrubs across our site in the last 5 years. We’ve also improved the riverbank areas surrounding the site and created wetland to increase biodiversity, ecology and wildlife.

11/05/2022

Our on-site recycling plant works meticulously to separate cardboard, plastic, metal, paper, and other recyclable materials. Today, 98% of all waste generated on-site is recycled. We are aiming for 100%.

10/05/2022

At GA, we are passionate about our environment and our local communities.

In the run up to the opening of our Ingredients Kitchen that we will be celebrating with Suppliers, Colleagues and the local community, we'd like to highlight how important our corporate and social responsibility is to us and how we're contributing to the local environment.

27/04/2022

Last week we collaborated with Bigtank Productions for a community project. We will be launching soon so please watch for more news

25/04/2022

At GA we grow our own oats and barley crops in the fields surrounding Plocks farm. Which we use in the partners recipes

24/04/2022

Sundays are made for resting after a long week at work - even our office mascot agrees!
Show us your pets resting at home or relaxing on a walk.

23/04/2022

Wishing everybody a Happy Easter #GAFamily

Yesterday we took a walk in the sunshine to understand more about the IBC yard (Intermediate Bulk Containers - IBC). The team work really hard outdoors in all weather conditions. On the ground it doesn't look too big, but Andy our IBC Manager and Process Leader showed us the birds eye view. They manage over 6000 containers. Well done Team! #teamwork #GAFamily
