Burnley is one of our powerhouse bakeries, producing a huge range of products and keeping the network well stocked week in, week out. From crumpets and pittas to pancakes and potato cakes, the site delivers serious volume, with over 88 million packs produced in a year.
It’s a site that blends scale with continuous improvement. Ongoing investment across production and warehousing has helped drive efficiency, reduce waste and improve output—while opening up new opportunities for product development and growth. The team here is always looking for ways to do things better, and the results speak for themselves.
Burnley also plays an important role beyond the UK, supplying products to international markets, including Australia and Dubai. It’s a great example of how what happens on site can have a global impact.
With a strong focus on development, recognition and giving back - whether that’s through colleague progression or fundraising efforts - the culture here is built around people as much as performance.
And with major investment planned, including £23m into new crumpet plants and site expansion, Burnley is set up not just for today, but for what’s next.
