2 Sisters Food Group, Britain’s biggest food manufacturer, is increasing production at its cooked chicken facility in Derby after clinching new business from another major retailer. To meet this extra demand, the East Midlands site is looking for an additional 136 recruits as it prepares to expand production at the Shaftsbury street south facility that has recently undergone significant upgrade and which currently employs around 500 workers.

2 Sisters bought the former S&A Foods site two years ago and injected fresh life into the facility with a multi-million pound investment to create a new state-of-the-art factory which makes it the most advanced of its kind in Europe. Manufacturing at 2 Sisters Derby re-commenced in April 2017.

Billy Storer, site director, says: “The business has invested in the very latest production line technology which has provided us with a great platform to ramp up volume and develop new cooked chicken products. This is an exciting time for Derby and we are looking for fresh blood to expand our team, from management right through to school leavers.”
