The Higgidy story began back in 2003 when Camilla, our founder, spotted a gap in the market to deliver delicious, wholesome pies to our plates. Making the pies in her own kitchen at home in West Sussex, Camilla and team would serve them at festivals up and down the country before getting a big break with Sainsbury’s. These days we’re all about making glorious everyday food to help people live well – from wholesome pies and quiches to seriously snackable rolls and savoury muffins.
We have a wide range of products to choose from, each delivering top-notch flavours and using quality ingredients – both of which are hugely important to us. What’s more, all our recipes are finished by hand which means that no two pies, quiches or sausage rolls ever look the same and that’s what makes Higgidy, ‘Higgidy’.
We are just over 18 years young; we are available to buy nation-wide and our consumers love us for our authenticity and because our purpose shines through everything we do. We are Higgidy, we are an enduring British brand, and we are ambitious about how we will have a positive impact for our people, society, and the planet for the future.
As our New Product Development Assistant, you will be responsible for baking samples for key customer meeting and internal presentations to help us secure new business and listings. You will also work alongside the NPD Team in our kitchen, assisting our Culinary Chef and Development Technologist.
