British sausage manufacturer scaling production with modern automation
Riverway Foods produces 300 tonnes of sausages weekly across British supermarkets, backed by high-welfare pork sourcing and BRC Grade AA certification. The company is mid-way through a Microsoft 365 modernisation programme while simultaneously implementing new filling and mincing machinery — a dual infrastructure upgrade suggesting both operational scaling and IT debt reduction. Hiring velocity is accelerating across engineering, manufacturing, and support functions, with a balanced mid-to-senior mix targeting process improvement and knowledge transfer.
Riverway Foods manufactures premium sausages at scale in Harlow, Essex, producing 300 tonnes per week from British farms. Founded in 1971 by the Crosby family, the company became part of CPC Group in 2018 and has since invested in automation: four new Handtmann filling machines, advanced mincing technology, and flow-wrapping systems. The business holds BRC Grade AA certification and recognition from RSPCA, Integra, and Coeliac Society. A new manufacturing facility is under construction. The company operates with 51–200 employees and is currently expanding its workforce across production, engineering, HR, logistics, and operations.
