Caring team

Caring team

We care deeply about our community, our environment and each other's wellbeing. We have our own woodland which offsets our carbon footprint and our team seek to do good, as well as doing good business.

Our wider world

The impact we have on our environment and community is close to our heart at Varn. We look to bring a positive contribution to our community and the planet. As well as using 100% renewable electricity, recycling whatever we can, we also positively offset our business and staff commute carbon footprint through buying, planting and managing our very own Varn woodland.

Our commitment to planting trees and offsetting our carbon footprint, has given rise to our new ‘woodland office’ a natural workspace designed for our team to be able to work outside and close to nature. This innovative and creative workspace is set in the middle of the Varn woodland in Bradford on Avon, and focuses on promoting employee wellbeing, celebrating the natural world and as well as offsetting our carbon footprint many times over. The woodland office go-kart is always good fun.

"Since joining Varn on the Future Talent Programme in September 2024, I've learnt so much from the team and my training. Varn stand by their values and want you to grow and the work culture at Varn is amazing; I love being part of such a lovely team and look forward to coming into work everyday"

Anyone like camper vans and paddle boarding?

With the pandemic creating such change in our everyday lives, we wanted to provide our employees the flexibility of new workspaces and are challenging the conventional office set up. So we have created the CamperVarn. Our ‘mobile office’ that the team can take out and about, taking in new views and thinking differently as a result of being ‘out of office’. We also spend time as a team using the office paddleboards and kayaks (free for the team to borrow any time), river swimming, having monthly socials which span from pottery to cocktail making and generally making sure we all enjoy life and work.
