Branston ramps up hiring to meet processing demand

Branston is recruiting over 65 new staff for its Lincolnshire site as part of a major scale-up in its prepared foods and protein extraction operations.

The potato supplier’s recent expansion includes a dedicated mashed potato production facility, which has seen rapid demand growth since its launch. To meet increased output targets, Branston is expanding shift capacity and adding roles across production and engineering.

The company is also growing its established prep division and developing a newer protein extraction venture. These developments require a mix of technical, managerial, and operational hires, including engineers, section managers, shift leaders, maintenance leads, line operatives, and forklift drivers.

Branston has also committed to internal talent development, offering structured training pathways from entry-level roles to senior management. The company positions this recruitment push as a long-term investment in workforce capability to match sustained customer demand.

This latest hiring drive underlines Branston’s continued strategic focus on vertical integration and value-added processing across its supply chain.
