Pukka Pies
is a privately owned family business and was founded by
the present Company Chairman in 1963. We now employ 250
people and make some 40 million pies and pasties per
year. Pukka Pies operates in stringently hygienic
conditions from the most modern pie production facility
in Europe.
This family business has a totally loyal and
conscientious staff. This is the company's strongest
asset and many people have worked 10, 15, 20, 25 and
even 30 years for the company. The Directors make job
security a central objective of the business and have
never made anyone redundant or put anyone on short time.
Staff benefits include company pension scheme, annual
pay review and a Christmas bonus as well as private
health insurance. Each year we have a Christmas party to
which we invite the whole staff and their partners.
Pukka Pies pays all its suppliers strictly within 7 days
of being invoiced.
