about us

At Greggs, we have big plans for the future and big opportunities available today. Of course, we all know that these are difficult times, but we have a famous offering, loyal customers and excellent people – the perfect recipe for success whatever the circumstances.

Greggs is the UK’s leading retail baker. We specialise in sandwiches, savouries and all sorts of other baker-fresh food on-the-go.

From 1 shop and 7 vans in Newcastle in 1964, we now have over 1,400 shops across the UK. That means millions of happy customers every week. And while our shops and products may have changed, we're still just as committed to serving fresh bakery food that offers our customers affordable quality.

In fact, two thirds of our business is in-shop made sandwiches and freshly baked savouries such as pasties and sausage rolls.

We have ten bakeries around the UK. All so we can supply the freshest products to our shops and an excellent, friendly service to our customers.

Our people work in a variety of different jobs, including retail, management, bakery, delivery and administration roles, all across the UK. Our aim has always been to promote from within. And wherever you work at Greggs, you'll find we all pull together as part of the same family.
