The workforce reflects this, with real longevity at every level of the organisation.

Sustainability is taken seriously. BHJ has signed up to Science Based Targets (SBTi) and is targeting 100% carbon footprint reduction by 2030, currently tracking at 98%. For the right candidate, this is a business whose ambitions go well beyond the bottom line.

The Grimsby site, established in 2014, is a key processing unit within the UK network and sits at the centre of an ambitious five-year growth plan, with continuous and progressive turnover targets set against a current base of £15-18m.

We look after our people because we know they're the reason for our success. When you join us, you'll become part of a team that wants you to develop, progress and enjoy coming to work every day.
