Colchester-based Anglia Crown, which produces food for more than 100 hospital sites across the UK is urgently looking to recruit workers.

Vacancies it is looking to fill include kitchen production, stores operatives, packing and picking persons and HGV drivers.

Paul Howell, director for Anglia Crown, said: “We are committed to supporting the NHS and the vulnerable during this time of uncertainty.

"The demand for our food is increasing significantly and we need to urgently recruit staff across many areas to ensure we continue to support our customers, hospitals and patients.

"As a local business, we also want to support those who have recently been made redundant and to offer them a job opportunity.

"As a growing business we also expect a number of these positions once filled to become long-term.”
