Samworth Brothers aims to be the very best food company in the UK.
Our purpose is to do good things with great food. We seek to be a long-term force for good and reinvest in the future of the business to make a positive difference for our people, customers, suppliers and communities. We also donate 1% of our profit to charitable causes each year.
We make food that people love. This is possible because of our commitment to quality. We believe in quality ingredients, quality processes, quality training, quality facilities and bakeries and, of course, great people.
Since 1896, Samworth Brothers has been driven by a desire to provide great food that is tasty, nutritious and affordable. We make everything from the nation’s favourite sandwiches to hand-raised pork pies and quality, authentic Cornish pasties.
Our love of food is stronger than ever. We have more than 70 talented development chefs working in 14 innovation kitchens across our businesses. They collaborate with our nutritionists, food experts and bakery teams to continuously improve our recipes. Every year, our dedication to quality food is recognised with multiple awards.
To make the very best food requires great people.
We are committed to three core values: ‘We are a family’, ‘We take pride’ and ‘We make things happen’. All our managers attend a ‘Leading the Samworth Way’ programme that shows how to bring our purpose and values to life through our actions at work.
We provide opportunities for all of our people to grow, improve their prospects and achieve their full potential. When new career vacancies arise within our businesses, we put our colleagues first. Our goal is to fill 70% of open roles internally.
