Simon Browne, Burton’s Biscuit Co.’s managing director, said: “Recent acquisitions and increased business with some of the UK’s leading supermarket groups have contributed to substantial business growth and enhanced output at the Llantarnam manufacturing site, which produces over 40,000 tonnes of biscuits a year.
“We’re committed to maintaining our current growth and are delighted to be giving dozens of people the opportunity to join our successful, award-winning team at Llantarnam. We want to fill the posts quickly and are inviting applications via our website now.”
Burton’s, which employs more than 650 people at the Llantarnam bakery, bought sweet and biscuit maker Thomas Fudge last February and shortbread and chutney maker Paterson Arran in November.
