Independent British snack brand Burts is expanding, after capitalising on growth with a raft of new innovation. As the company looks to continue to grow, it is hiring for 20 new permanent roles across a variety of departments at its Leicester site.

Although the brand is Devon-based, due to its size and extensive production capabilities, the company has a factory site in Leicester where it is recruiting for engineering, production and warehouse roles, and has many other opportunities for career progression.

Nationally acclaimed for its products’ superior taste and known for producing chips that are made with care.  Burts has grown 300% in the last five years, and has maintained its surging growth despite the pandemic.  Further progress is set in 2022 as it rebrands and launches a vast amount of new products.

Amongst the new products and flavours, for the first time, Burts will be producing its very own popcorn range this summer.  With the upcoming months being pivotal for the brand, now is the time to build the team, as Burts Snacks CEO, Dave McNulty explains:

“We are very fortunate to be experiencing a period of rapid expansion, which everyone in the business is delighted about. This has been a huge year for Burts so far with our new packaging and innovation, and I can’t wait to see where we can take the company next. We are just scratching the surface in terms of innovation with the tremendous manufacturing capabilities we have. This is just the start of our innovation journey, we want Burts to be a brand that can grow and grow.”
