A key pillar of our people strategy is enabling a Wincanton culture that supports inclusion, wellbeing, performance and growth.
Supporting inclusion, wellbeing, performance and growth
As a progressive company operating in a traditionally male oriented sector, Wincanton continues to engage in initiatives that promote a career in supply chain to those in under-represented groups, and our focus on this area will enable us to build toward having a more diverse organisation in future years.
Diversity and inclusion
At Wincanton we will continue improving the diversity of our workforce by increasing gender diversity, better representing ethnic diversity among our leadership and workforce and providing an inclusive workplace for LGBT+ and disabled colleagues.
We are proud to be among the first 50 signatories to the CBI-led ‘Change the Race Ratio’ charter. We will continue providing a supportive workplace for disabled colleagues and support the DWP’s Disability Confident Campaign.
We will continue our efforts in reducing the gender pay gap and helping talented women and men to build rewarding careers at Wincanton.

Shine
At Wincanton, we believe talent comes from all walks of life. That’s why we created Shine - our inclusive recruitment programme designed to break down barriers, tackle social inequalities, and champion diversity.
Through Shine, we’re building an inclusive culture where everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. By focusing on transferable skills and potential, we empower individuals to take the next step in their careers - regardless of background.
As part of this commitment, we’ve signed the Social Recruitment Covenant, reinforcing our pledge to embed social value into our hiring and employment practices. Our vision is to be a leader in our industry, creating a workforce that truly reflects the diverse communities we serve.
With Shine, we’re not just recruiting - we’re creating meaningful opportunities and fostering a workplace where everyone belongs.
