Job Details

Cranswick plc is a leading and innovative British supplier of premium, fresh and added-value food products with annual revenues of approximately £1.0 billion.

We provide a range of fresh pork, gourmet sausages, premium cooked meats, charcuterie, traditional hand-cured, air-dried bacon, premium cooked chicken, gourmet pastry products and sandwiches through retail, food service and manufacturing channels across the UK and internationally.

Operating from thirteen well invested, highly efficient production facilities in the UK employing almost 8,000 people, we continue to build a winning business by staying true to a simple ethos; authentically made British food, without compromise.

At the heart of the business are our people. From the farm to the factory to the retail shelf, we are all committed to delivering outstanding food experiences every time. We were founded on expertise but more than anything we are a company of entrepreneurs. Cranswick stands for determination and good old-fashioned ambition, seeking out the next opportunity, encouraging a culture that allows great, commercially focused ideas to flourish.

Cranswick Gourmet Pastry Co.

From our new state-of-the-art facility in Malton, North Yorkshire, we take the skills of artisans and lovingly craft a wide range of traditional and contemporary British pastry, from sausage rolls and deep filled pies through to quiches and open tarts.

Due to the impressive growth of Cranswick Gourmet Pastry Co., we are now looking for key commercial people to play an active role in the continued development of our business.

Strong customer facing and project management skills are essential.

Passion, drive and real commercial acumen, market awareness and an innovative approach to problem solving will be key attributes in your personality.
