Who are we ?

We are FBC UK, Fox's Burton's Companies! ……And we bake the UK's most incredible biscuits (we might be slightly biased, but we will
leave that for you to judge).




FBC UK was a match made in heaven, with two of the top UK biscuits manufacturers (Burton's Biscuits and Fox's Biscuits) coming
together to create one unique, integrated company.




We are home to famous iconic brands, including Maryland, Fox's, Jammie Dodger & Rocky, to name just a few. We are proud
manufacturing partners to some of the biggest UK retailers and household names. We bake our incredible biscuits at eight bakeries
across the UK, located at Isle of Arran, Livingston, Blackpool, Llantarnam, Edinburgh, Kirkham, Batley & Dorset and our HQ in St
Albans. Together, we employ circa 4,000 amazing colleagues across all our locations.




We are currently the second biscuit manufacturer in the UK market with a strong ambition of becoming UK Market Leader.




Whilst we know that we have delicious products we also know that that the key ingredient to our success is our people, and the
passion we have for our brands. You could be the jammy to our dodger, party ring to our Fox’s or the choc-chip to our Maryland?!
We knead people with innovative ideas, an entrepreneurial spirit, and the commitment to drive FBC UK to success.




We are committed to building an inclusive workforce that feels empowered to build a fulfilling and successful career. By embracing
diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) we create a supportive environment for people to thrive and strive to have more positive
impact.




We understand that having formal and on-the-job learning opportunities is key to our colleagues’ professional and personal growth.
We are committed to providing an environment where everyone can learn from each other and grow through a variety of learning
experiences.




Our colleagues make our business special. With strong community values, we believe FBC UK is a more prosperous and fun place to
work when people feel free to be themselves. We believe in the power of being authentic, entrepreneurial and supporting each other
whilst meeting our business goals.
