MBA students from Texas amazed at the Finnebrogue story

What a pleasure it was to welcome MBA students from the Texas McCombs School of Business to our site this morning – and they brought the good weather with them!

They started off the morning learning about nitrites and enjoying a delicious bacon bap made with nitrite-free Better Naked bacon – which they all declared was delicious – “thicker than American bacon and less salty”.

Our HR Manager, Morgan Cooke provided an overview of our People Strategy, and our award-winning Health and Wellbeing, which has a clear focus on supporting the emotional, physical, and financial wellbeing of employees.

Our Operations Director, Dermot Hawkins talked them through the Finnebrogue journey and our growth from a £3m business in 2009 to a 218m business next year.

Our journey started with the first bangers in 2005, to winning major retail contracts from M&S and ASDA, to feeding the nation in 2020 during the Covid Pandemic and to huge investment in our sites – just shy of £100m. And lots of important events in between. You can view the Finnebrogue story on our homepage.

There were lots of great questions and valuable engagement throughout the visit, which closed with a tour of the sausage factory.
