A Bakkavor spokesperson told just-food the company is continuing recruitment “to meet higher demand from our customers, particularly in categories such as fresh meals, pizzas, salads and desserts”.
The spokesperson said: “Over the course of 2016, we have invested significantly across the portfolio of our Bakkavor businesses to support growth, with over GBP44m (US$55m) in group capital investments from January to September, and intend to maintain this level of investment over the next year.”
Bakkavor has invested in its Newark facility in Nottinghamshire “to increase capacity and strengthen our desserts capabilities”, the spokesperson said. “Our soups and sauces business in Spalding has benefited from increased volume demand with new and existing customers, we are now looking to fill roles in other parts of the group where resource is needed.”
