Welcome to Hovis. We are the proud guardians of over 130 years of baking experience that make up our iconic and much-loved brand. We produce bread and bakery products created with Hovis goodness at the heart of each and every one. We deliver around 1.3million loaves, every day of the week throughout the UK and Ireland, where we also make Mothers Pride and Ormo products. We are 2,800 people working within 8 bakeries, 1 flour mill, and 2 regional distribution centres across the UK. Our success is a result of the hard work of our people; they are experts in their field whether it’s baking, manufacturing, logistics, engineering, or the many departments within the central functions team based in our head office in High Wycombe. We are a values-led business and expect our colleagues to live, breathe, and embed Quality, Accountability, and Trust into their ways of working. In 2020 Hovis was acquired by Endless Plc in an agreement that will allow us to make significant investment into the business infrastructure, grow our product range and achieve further growth in the bakery category.

    Take a step behind the scenes of Hovis® Sebon Bakery as we show you how we bake our latest loaf, the Hovis® Farmhouse Batch. From mixing, flour dusting to the final distinctive cut along the top, these delicious and tantalisingly soft loaves have been created by our expert bakers using a traditional starter dough, which is given time to fully develop. This time-honoured method helps to develop a deeper flavour before the dough is batch baked for the ultimate in softness. As we continue our story, we're always welcoming talented and dedicated people into our exceptional Hovis team. We have some exciting times ahead as we continue to innovate and work hard to strengthen our brand, remaining a great bakery Company for years to come. Are you ready to bake a difference? Take a look at our carers page to find the right role for you https://lnkd.in/egRdzq2C   #behindthescenes #hovis #bakeryjobs #logisticsjobs

    We are extremely proud of our Hovis colleagues who participated in the first ever GroceryAid Netball Tournament. With over 13 grocery organisations coming together to raise funds for GroceryAid, lots of fun was had by many. Our team said it was great to have fun and meet up with others from across the industry. Captained by Sophie Tomkins and fueled with sandwiches made from our new Hovis® Farmhouse Batch, as part of the lunch, complemented by other great brands, the team played brilliantly! 🥪 A huge thanks to GroceryAid and to Weetabix for hosting the event. PLUS, the team then arranged for the unused loaves to be gifted to an organisation which supports homeless and vulnerable people in Coventry, meaning that 300 extra sandwiches could be made and distributed to people who really need it and importantly ensured there was no wastage! One gentleman even commented that the Hovis® Farmhouse Batch bread was the best he'd ever tasted! Thank you Aman Uppal and Tom P. for organising this donation. 🍞 👏 Thank you to our amazing players Sophie Tomkins Emma Richards (Smith) David Ferris George Fenn Helen Stares Donna Hannah MCIPD Stuart Farren Matthew Carcary for taking part. #groceryaid #fundraising
