Why Greencore?

We’re one of the UK’s leading creators of convenience food, driven by a simple purpose: to make everyday taste better.

As a vibrant and fast-moving business, we’re proud to employ over 13,300 talented colleagues across 16 manufacturing sites and 17 distribution depots throughout the UK. Together, we bring delicious food to life, from sandwiches, soups, and sushi to cooking sauces, pickles, and ready meals. In FY24, our shared passion helped us achieve revenues of £1.8bn.

Our extensive direct-to-store (DTS) network, with 17 depots nationwide, allows us to deliver fresh and frozen food both our own and from trusted partners to thousands of stores every day, ensuring our customers enjoy the very best, whenever and wherever they shop.

Here at Manton Wood, we have a team of around 1,700 colleagues. We produce sandwiches and wraps for some of the biggest retailers in the UK including Co-op, Asda, Morrisons, Boots, Aldi and Lidl. Our Manton Wood site has a gym, restaurant with hot food and a staff shop available to all our colleagues.
