A LOCAL EMPLOYER FOR LOCAL PEOPLE Part of the global CF Industries , which is headquartered in North America , CF is brimming with local talent .
While they do recruit from outside the region , with a smaller SG & A team also based in Cheshire , the DNA and core of the UK business remains Teesside through and through .
Employing nearly 200 people across the entire business , the site ’ s leadership team places huge value on its people , continually looking to diversify and to help everyone grow and develop personally and professionally .

They launched their Inclusion Resource Group ( IRG ), overseen by their Inclusion Council , in 2021 , to help live out this commitment and advance their culture .
