By Food Job Blogger on 14 June 2010 | Comments 0

This year we have nearly double the amount of candidates in the Yorkshire area coming to us for jobs so in order to service increasing demand from our Yorkshire based candidates and clients Focus Management Consultants have expanded the Yorkshire office so not only is Yorkshire the home of FocusChefs, the only dedicated NPD chef division, we now have consultants with food manufacturing experience recruiting across all disciplines from Technical & production to HR and Sales.

With the strongest concentration of food and drink companies in the UK Yorkshire and Humber is one of the countries biggest food producing regions and is therefore recognised as the country's food capital.

Global Food Brands including Nestlé, Coca Cola, Arla, and Carlsberg as well as Blue chip chilled manufacturers including Bakkavor, Greencore and Northern Foods all have major facilities in the region and with 80% of the region being rural, it's no wonder that meat processors including ABP, Vion and Cranswick have plants Yorkshire and Humberside.

The Facts
In Yorkshire and Humber:
• Above average growth of 12%, 3 times faster than national average
• 18% of the workforce (16,000 people) work in food/drink manufacturing
• There are around 1,100 food/drink manufacturing businesses
• 40 of world's 200 largest industrial groups have bases here


Well, with the region producing almost a third of the UK's beer, it's no wonder Yorkshire and Humberside is a popular place for Food Manufacturing job hunters!!
