Potato supplier Branston seeks nearly 100 new employees in Lincolnshire
Potato supplier Branston is seeking nearly 100 new employees for its Lincolnshire site, following a period of strong customer demand and continued growth. Building on last year’s successful recruitment drive, the company is hiring for a range of permanent roles across its prepared foods and mash factories, along with seasonal recruits to meet fresh potato demand ahead of Christmas.
To support the intake, Branston is hosting an open recruitment evening on September 10 from 5pm to 8pm at its Mere Road site in Lincoln. Those interested in the permanent positions can drop in without prior registration to meet the team, learn about daily operations and discuss available roles.
Up to 45 permanent roles are available in the prepared foods and mash factories, including production operatives and dispatch operatives. Roughly 40 additional employees are also being sought for other areas of the business on a seasonal basis to keep supermarket shelves stocked for the festive surge.

Simon Telfer, HR director at Branston, said: “We’re undergoing a period of incredibly positive and exciting growth and we’re eager to expand our team to support the demand from our customers. We’re recruiting into a growing division, which means there is so much capacity for individuals to carve their own career paths and progress within the company.
“We’ve worked hard to ensure the team can access robust training and development programmes, from apprentice level through to senior managers, and that’s the same for anyone looking to join as part of our current recruitment drive. Likewise, we place a lot of importance on our culture and looking after the team.”
Those interested in attending the recruitment event can head directly to Branston’s main reception on Mere Road anytime between 5pm and 8pm on September 10.
Simon added: “We are keen to welcome new talent to the Branston team and embrace their expertise to drive our future plans, as well as aid current growth. We’re equally passionate about championing the next generation and have successfully supported many people from entry-level roles through to leadership positions with the right training and development.”
