Addo Foods to create jobs at Nottingham sites

Chilled pastry producer Addo Food Group has said it is creating jobs at its two Nottingham sites, and is urging those who have affected by recent redundancy within hospitality and leisure-based businesses as a result of COVID-19 to apply.

The company which currently has six sites around the UK, manufacturing a range of savoury quiches, pies, pasties, slices, scotch eggs, sausage rolls and pork pies for major retailers, as well as category-leading brands Wall’s Pastry and Pork Farms, says it is offering roles to people with all levels of experience within its Nottingham factories.

Deborah Bolton, chief executive, Addo Food Group, said: “Coronavirus has impacted so many hospitality based businesses already and as workers are being laid off all over the country from restaurants, pubs and bars, we’re pleased to be able to offer temporary positions within our Nottingham sites, which may help ease the financial pressure that a lot of people now find themselves in. It’s a really difficult time for people and it’s important that we help where we can.”
