We operate across multiple UK sites including Airdrie, Boston, Westwick, and Jersey, and remain a proud family‑run business with a commitment to quality and sustainability.

  • Support continuous improvement and efficient production flow

Health & Safety

  • Follow all site safety guidelines, hygiene standards, and SOPs
  • Maintain a clean and safe work area

What We’re Looking For

You’ll be a great fit if you have:

  • Experience as a Machine Operator, Machine Setter, Production Operative, or similar manufacturing role
  • Hands‑on mechanical aptitude and willingness to learn
  • Ability to solve problems quickly and work independently
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Willingness to work backshift

Experience in food manufacturing is helpful but full training is provided.


What We Offer

  • £13.17 per hour (rising to £14.23) + 50p/h backshift allowance
  • Stable backshift schedule
  • Enhanced training and career development
  • Supportive, family‑focused environment
  • Free on‑site parking
  • Access to company benefits and staff facilities

If you’re a motivated, mechanically minded individual looking for a stable role with long‑term opportunity, we’d love to hear from you.

Requirements

  • Previous experience as a machine setter or in a similar production role preferred.
  • Strong technical skills with a solid understanding of machinery operations.
