Avara Foods recently welcomed members of the public to its Telford site, inviting those in the local area to find out more about the company, how the site operates and learn about the exciting career options available.
The open day offered visitors tours of the state-of-the-art factory with its advanced manufacturing technology, the chance to taste some of the products made on-site, and the opportunity to meet with some of the team.
Opportunities at all levels of the business were showcased, with experienced colleagues from different departments and functions on-hand to explain the roles. The site team fielded queries about the company’s engineering apprenticeships, manufacturing positions, technical roles and logistics opportunities, and spoke with over 130 people.
