About Jacksons
Jacksons is part of William Jackson Food Group, a sixth-generation family business founded by William Jackson when he opened his first shop in Hull in September 1851. Today we have a portfolio of five food businesses in distinct, yet complimentary market areas, employing over 2,000 people.
We have occupied the current site in Hull since 1907 and we now have 3 bread plants in our main bakery. We specialise in the supply of bread and other carriers to the sandwich manufacturers, foodservice and export channels, and in 2012 we launched our consumer facing brand “Jackson’s of Yorkshire”.
We opened a brand-new site in Corby, Northamptonshire – one of the largest investments our Group has ever made – and this will allow us to realise our ambition of being the best at what we do.
We also support our new ‘sweet treats’ team over at Lottie Shaw’s in Brighouse. 2025 is an exciting time to join us – make this year a toast to you and apply now!
