Growth generating fresh employment opportunities at food manufacturer
Malton-based food manufacturer The Tofoo Co has announced 10 new jobs at its site on York Road Industrial Park.
The company already employs 58 people and is recruiting following recent growth which will see turnover increase by an expected 200% this year since 2017.
Following an introduction of three new products to its range in the last three months, and ahead of a large scale factory expansion due to launch in autumn, The Tofoo Co is in need of manufacturing operatives to join the business.
Each day the three-year-old start-up creates 20,000 packs of tofu spanning across its product range from its factory.
Tofoo Naked is an all-natural protein alternative made from only soya beans, nigari and water.
David Knibbs, founder and managing director of the business, said: “Since launching our brilliant Tofoo three years ago we have seen significant growth to become the number one tofu in Britain.
“With business progression, an exciting factory expansion on the horizon and increased demand due to the growth of the meat free sector, we need to develop and build our Tofoo family to help achieve our big ambitions.
“We are a family-run business and want to offer opportunities to local people who share not only our work ethic, but also our strong values around bringing an exciting and unique product to the market.”
He added the new jobs would help boost the employment market in the North Yorkshire region, with both full time early and late shift work and weekend roles available.
