About Us

Our vision is to become the world’s most sustainable meat business from farm to fork... and we’re hungry for talented people to join us.

We were founded on expertise but, more than anything, we are a company of entrepreneurs. Cranswick stands for determination and good, old-fashioned ambition, seeking out the next opportunity, encouraging a culture that allows great, commercially focused ideas to flourish.

Named one of Britain’s Most Admired Companies in 2018, we endeavour to be a destination employer. Each of our sites are unique, yet our guiding principles of Quality, Value, Innovation and People shine through. 

At the heart of the business are our people. From the farm to the factory to the retail shelf, we are all dedicated to delivering the same outcome, and that’s producing authentically made, sustainably produced food; created with passion. We call it ‘delivering the exceptional’ and it’s a code of conduct that each and every one of us fiercely defends and strives for. 

We have well invested, industry leading facilities and an ambitious growth plan which has enabled us to create a work place with opportunities where people can progress and develop their careers. Whether that be in our Technical, Production, Operations, NPD, Agri, Sales and Marketing or Commercial teams; the opportunity is there if you want to take it.
