Job Details

The Company

Jigsaw Foods has been operating since June 2008 and in that time it has grown incredibly quickly.  The growth has come from being at the forefront of customer focused innovation and delivering bespoke products for all. We produce a wide range of products through our two factories.  From the sauce factory we manufacture a range of sauces, marinades and mayonnaise all for use in various restaurant chains and other food manufacturers.  From the frozen factory we produce a range of frozen flavoured butters, melts and sauces for use throughout restaurants, food manufacturers and some supermarkets.

The business was acquired in June this year by Newly Weds® Foods who are a leading, privately owned global food ingredients business and has been innovating since 1932. Despite the size and scope, they have continued to be an independent, family-owned business answerable only to the demands of their customers. That’s why they continue to invest in infrastructure, human resources and capacity to keep pace with their customers’ needs and expectations. This is an exciting time to join our business as we continue to grow, adding new product groups to the Newly Weds® Foods portfolio.
