BBF Limited, the ambient cake and dessert manufacturers, has appointed Stafforce to manage its recruitment of production personnel.
The manufacturer has appointed Stafforce to provide a volume labour solution across its five UK bakeries based in Hull, Blackburn, Bradford and Doncaster.
A team of Stafforce recruitment professionals will be based on-site to liaise with production managers to assess daily needs, which continuously change according to seasonal fluctuations and customer demand. Whilst production personal engaged through Stafforce for BBF are temporary workers, most have contracts with Stafforce that provide them with a range of benefits which help to ensure loyalty and job security.
Sunny Singh, Stafforce sales director, said: “Over the last two years, we’ve had to think outside the box to find innovative ways to ensure we can meet demand for clients across all sectors, in particular the food industry, that has been severely impacted by the effects of Brexit and the pandemic.
“This has included a mix of traditional recruitment methods as well as new approaches such as social media campaigns and local initiatives where we’re out and about in communities speaking to people about jobs in the area. We’re delighted to have been appointed by BBF Limited to support with their recruitment of production personnel.”
Cheryl Charnley, head of HR at BBF, added: “The consultative approach and close working relationships we have developed with the Stafforce team working on-site has resulted in a true partnership.”
BBF operates six bakeries, five across the North of England and one in Poland. The baker works closely with the UK’s most prominent retailers to produce more than 600 million cakes/desserts annually.
Stafforce is a division of Nicholas Associates Group and has a branch network located across the UK and several other on-site managed services contracts with other leading food producers including Youngs Seafoods and Birds Eye.
