'This factory is part of our family heritage'

What is it really like to work with your mum or dad? And how does it feel to have your employer ingrained in your family history?

Food and drink is vital to any family gathering, and when the Boyce family get together, their chatter soon turns to Nestlé. Because generations of Boyces have worked at the company's Tutbury factory in Derbyshire.

"We've all got Nestlé in common," says Sam Boyce, 58. "When you look back at the people who've worked there in our family, you can trace it back through World War II. It's special. It's part of our heritage."

The Tutbury factory began life in 1901 producing tinned milk. Sam's sister Karen, who also works for Nestlé, remembers their nana working there. Numerous uncles also clocked in at the factory, which sits at the heart of the community.

In 1959, it switched to manufacturing instant coffee, and now produces 170,000 jars of Nescafé every day, 25 million Nescafé Dolce Gusto pods a week, and a variety of Starbucks at Home products.
