Look, mum, that’s where dad makes the fries!
Familyday, Fun & Fries
It might just be the best quote of our family day. Because while the workplace is usually the domain of mum, dad or partner, during our annual family day we throw the doors wide open to the whole family. It’s a unique chance for your children to discover where you give your very best every day and to sneak a little taste of all that hard work, both literally and figuratively.
Hard work deserves to be rewarded
At Agristo, we believe that if you work hard, you should enjoy life just as much. And you can feel that not only in the atmosphere on the work floor, but especially during the events we organise for our colleagues and their families. Our family day is the perfect example. Every time, we turn it into a festive day full of fun, delicious food, and above all, quality time with your loved ones and your colleagues, all in a relaxed setting.
Twice the fun
At Agristo, we don’t just love family, we love variety too! That’s why we alternate our annual family day between one of our own Agristo sites and an amusement park.
When we open the doors to one of our production sites, it’s more than just a warm welcome, it’s a unique behind-the-scenes look into the world of potatoes. Every year, we choose a different location, because each site has its own character and story to tell. Whether it’s the innovative lines, the local team spirit or the impressive scale of operations, it’s a moment of pride to show your family where you make a difference every single day.
And the next year? Then it’s time for a full-on adventure in an amusement park. It'll be a day packed with fun, thrills and laughter for young and old.
By alternating locations, our family day stays fresh and exciting, year after year. And no matter the setting, one thing is constant: sharing unforgettable memories with the people who matter most.
“So these are the little hellraisers you’re always talking about?”
Sounds familiar? At work, you often share a story or two from home: the toddler who kept you up all night, or the son who just scored his first goal. During the family day, your colleagues finally get to put faces to the stories they’ve heard so many times before.
And for your family, it’s the perfect chance to meet the colleagues you talk about every day. No kids?
Pass the fries!
One of the highlights of the day? The shared lunch or dinner, where we sit down together and catch up. It’s the perfect moment for colleagues to get to know each other better in a setting that’s all about connection and fun. These moments don’t just create wonderful memories. They also strengthen the bond between colleagues and, of course, between Agristo and its Potatoholics.
A family business at heart
Agristo started out as a family business and those family values are still deeply rooted in our DNA. We understand better than anyone how important it is to make time for each other, even outside working hours.
Our family day isn’t just a box to tick, but a heartfelt gesture towards our people and their families. Because in the end, it’s not just about feeling at home at work, it’s about sharing your home with your work.
