UK food manufacturer operating 13 sites with iconic FMCG brands
Premier Foods operates a diversified portfolio of established British food brands across manufacturing, retail, and foodservice channels from 13 UK production sites. The tech stack reflects a traditional manufacturing operation: heavy reliance on Rockwell/Allen-Bradley automation, Siemens PLCs, SAP for ERP, and now migrating to RISE with SAP S/4HANA — a signal of modernizing legacy systems. Active hiring across engineering and manufacturing (29 roles combined) suggests execution of significant capital projects and process improvement initiatives, aligned with stated pain points around production downtime, OTIF compliance, and waste reduction.
