Some of our amazing workers who’ve gained their permanent contracts with Griffith Foods…
“I applied for a job through Essential Recruitment nearly 3 and a half months ago. Upon registering with them, they contacted me the same day with a job offer for a company called Griffith Foods…Working for Griffith is enjoyable and fun, no two days are the same… There are 3 different areas within the factory that you could find yourself working in – in any area from mixing, liquids or packing, or rotating between each! At the end of your set you have 4 days off to look forward to; it’s like having a long weekend off every week! Giving you a great work/life balance. Since I joined Griffith I was made to feel welcome and valued from the word go, the people who work there are friendly and chatty and get on with everybody.” – Candidate Testimonial
