A recent Employee Retention Report found that employees stay with a company for an average of 3.7 years, while in the manufacturing sector that rises to 5.3 years. We’re very proud to announce that Fruehauf has more than doubled this sector average.
An impressive 23.5% of its workforce has over 10 years of service, while 28% have served more than 5 years. Staff turnover at the company remains below 5%, compared with an industry average of 26%; a testament to its strong values and employee-first approach.
The report, compiled by Vestd, analysed data from over 398,000 employees across 1,400 UK companies on LinkedIn to measure median employee tenure across 14 industries.
Fruehauf is committed to creating an environment where employees choose to build long-term careers. The company offers opportunities at every stage of working life; from apprenticeships for the younger generation to reduced hours for those approaching retirement, alongside regular social events throughout the year. Many staff have proudly remained with Fruehauf for decades, reflecting a workplace where people feel valued and motivated.
Based in Grantham, Fruehauf is also one of the area’s largest employers, with a workforce of more than 180 people. Beyond providing local jobs, the company actively supports its community through close relationships with Grantham College, offering opportunities for school leavers, and sponsorship of Harrowby United FC, a small local football team. This investment in the community reflects Fruehauf’s commitment to giving back to the people that underpins its success.
With a proud, reliable workforce dedicated to quality, Fruehauf’s employee loyalty is evident in every trailer that leaves its factory.
