HECK! set to stage second jobs fair at Kirklington headquarters

HECK! based in Lime Lane, Kirklington, near Bedale, will host the event on Saturday, May 2, from 10am until 12pm.

Visitors will have the chance to tour the site, meet the team, and learn more about roles in hygiene, production, picking, and the mixing room.

The event follows the success of the company’s first open day, which took place in February and attracted hundreds of people from across the region.

Jamie Keeble, co-founder of HECK!, said: “We were thrilled with the response to our first Jobs Open Day,” said HECK! co-founder Jamie Keeble.

“It was fantastic to meet so many enthusiastic people and to showcase what makes working here so unique.

“Food production is exciting, fast-paced and rewarding and we’re excited to open our doors again on 2 May and to continue welcoming new talent into our team.”

Among those who found success at the first event was Jackie, a local resident who attended out of curiosity and left with a job offer.

She initially started as a production supervisor, but her experience in quality control led to a new opportunity within the business.

Jackie said: “Attending the first HECK! jobs open day was a turning point for me.

“I initially stepped into a production supervisor role, but my background in quality control quickly came into play.

“Before long, I was given the opportunity to move into a Technical Coordinator position.

“With my experience from PFF Innovations Plastics in Keighley and years in quality assurance across different industries, it felt like a natural fit.

“Now, I’m proud to support audits, inspections and equipment calibrations across the business, helping strengthen food safety and quality systems so our customers can always receive the highest standard of product.”

Jobseekers of all experience levels are encouraged to attend and discover the variety of roles on offer.

The day will include site tours, team meet-and-greets, a short interview and a behind-the-scenes look at the production line in action.

HECK! one of the largest private employers in the area, is is looking to fill a variety of hands-on roles, including team leaders and team members across the mixing room, picking, hygiene and production departments.

HECK! encourages all attendees to register their interest in advance via its website.
