Addo creates over 200 jobs to support UK demand

Chilled pastry producer Addo Food Group has announced it is recruiting for more than 200 vacancies across its five sites in order to meet the country’s rising demand for fridge-staples since the pandemic.

The group has created a range of new part-time, full-time, temporary and permanent jobs, including production and factory operatives, engineers, technical service managers, development chefs and technologists, executives and taste panel coordinators.


“We have kept the nation supplied with chilled pastry products over the past 16 months and we have been working hard to produce our quality pastries, pasties and party food for major retailers – as well as manufacturing rolls and pies for our leading brands Wall’s Pastry and Pork Farms," said Deborah Bolton, CEO of Addo Food Group.

“This recruitment drive will help to support our current employees with the surge in sales and there are a variety of positions available for people with all levels of experience, across our Nottingham, Shropshire, Dorset and Poole factories.”

Experience within the food manufacturing industry isn’t essential as full training will be provided for all roles.

Addo Food Group is the market-leading producer of chilled savoury products in the UK and currently employs around 2,400 people. The company manufactures a range of savoury quiches, pies, pasties, slices, scotch eggs, sausage rolls and pork pies for major retailers, including category-leading brands Wall’s Pastry and Pork Farms.
