Pukka
Pies is a privately owned family business and was
founded by the present Company Chairman in 1963.
We now employ 250 people and make some 40 million
pies and pasties per year. Pukka Pies operates in
stringently hygienic conditions from the most
modern pie production facility in Europe.
This family business has a totally loyal and
conscientious staff. This is the company's
strongest asset and many people have worked 10,
15, 20, 25 and even 30 years for the company. The
Directors make job security a central objective of
the business and have never made anyone redundant
or put anyone on short time.
Staff benefits include company pension scheme,
annual pay review and a Christmas bonus as well as
private health insurance. Each year we have a
Christmas party to which we invite the whole staff
and their partners. Pukka Pies pays all its
suppliers strictly within 7 days of being
invoiced.
