Baxters Food Group is a fourth-generation, privately-owned entrepreneurial business which specialises in the manufacturing of premium quality food products. The Group’s product range includes soup, beetroot, chutney, condiments, preserves and meal options.
Baxters has been in operation since 1868 and a lot has changed since then, but their dedication to making only the best quality products has always been at the core of everything they do. The Baxters brand has grown from a humble village store to a global brand with a turnover of over £450m.
With the sheer scale of the operation, Baxters now has sites based throughout the UK and food manufacturing operations in the USA, Australia, and Poland. The science and technology that underlies their process today may be far removed from the little village shop that started it all in Fochabers, but the ethos remains the same – “Be different, be better”.
Baxters now finds its product being sold in major supermarket chains such as Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury’s and many more, which has contributed to the large-scale growth of the business. Baxters’ Head Quarters is situated at Charlotte Square in Edinburgh and oversees the UK & Global operation.
A new vacancy has arisen within Baxters which represents an excellent opportunity to join their team, based in Edinburgh.
This role offers an office-based working approach and the ability to further your career within a fantastic business that has made itself a well-established household name over many years. The successful candidate will report directly to the Group Finance Director with regular interaction with the finance team and various other stakeholders within the business.
The position is best suited to someone who is looking to get involved with a large-scale business and who can bring new ideas to the table. The role is highly technical and has responsibility for managing one team member while being the lead on technical accounting related matters, so it is essential the appointed candidate is able to be ‘hands on’ and involved in the detail of pulling together the financial reporting for the Group.
