We are thrilled to announce Northumbrian Fine Foods has been shortlisted for the Food and Drink award at this year’s Made in the North East Awards 2023. It’s brilliant to be recognised as a major manufacturing employer in the region and it is a testament to the fantastic team here at our Gateshead site.
Northumbrian Fine Foods is excited to be exhibiting at this year’s Free From Functional Food Expo at RAI Amsterdam on 22nd and 23rd November.
Those attending the two-day event will be able to visit Northumbrian Fine Foods on the stand, where they will get the chance to discuss the extensive portfolio of great-tasting and quality gluten-free biscuits that the business produces for private label customers and our own Prewett’s brand, and taste some of its exciting new products. This will include its pioneering new product development of gluten-free Caramelised and Viennese biscuits for 2023 and a teaser of its upcoming partnerships with leading confectionery brands.
Rob Dawson, Sales Director at Northumbrian Fine Foods said: “The Free From Functional Food Expo is a staple in the free-from calendar and we are delighted to be attending again this year. The expo allows us to showcase our gluten-free capabilities and latest innovations with new and potential customers, helping us to drive opportunities in the underdeveloped European market. We are proud of our reputation for taste and quality and we look forward to meeting visitors from across the continent and chatting with them about our wide range of products.”
Northumbrian Fine Foods will be located at D56 in the Hall 5, RAI Amsterdam
North East based biscuit manufacturer, Northumbrian Fine Foods, has announced over 50 new permanent vacancies at its Gateshead based factory, after seeing significant growth year on year.
Growth has been driven by the company’s strong performance within the gluten free biscuit & cookies category, partly fuelled by increasing numbers of ‘healthy lifestyle shoppers’ choosing a diet free from gluten. The firm has also strengthened its co-manufacturing business, now producing on behalf of some of the nation’s best-known brands, all of which has led to sales turnover twice doubling between 2014 and 2021.
Neil McAndry, managing director of Northumbrian Fine Foods said: “NFF have outperformed the market increasing sales significantly vs. the same period last year and represent a strong driver of growth within the category. Driven by our role as a ‘centre of excellence’ in free-from production we have enjoyed increasing demand for our products over the last few years. As a result of this growth, we have made the decision to expand our operating hours by 20 percent, creating over 50 new roles right here in the North East.”
The roles, including bakery operations and office-based vacancies are being created as the company responds to increasing demand for their free-from biscuits and cookies from major retailers.
Northumbrian Fine Foods are recruiting for these roles with the help of their trusted recruitment partner, Westray Recruitment Group and applicants can apply by contacting them on: 0191 492 6622 or by email on nffjobs@westray.co.uk
