A little bit about us and our history

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 four food businesses in distinct, yet complimentary market areas, employing around 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 recently developed a second bakery, also at our site in Hull, which specialises in premium quality roll production.

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".

In 2018 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.
