Supermarket sausage marker Cranswick said the recruitment of 400 butchers from the Philippines, after it struggled to find skilled workers closer to home, helped it continue to grow its profits despite a year of disruption.
The East Yorkshire-based firm, which has 22 UK facilities employing 13,700 people, said it had been a third year of “unprecedented disruption” but that adjusted profits still rose by 2.3% to £140.1 million.
