Biggleswade is known for being the home of the world's first-ever seed company, founded by Samuel Wells in the 18th century. Warburtons' newest site is conveniently situated with access to the A1, providing a gateway to the North and South, as well as easy access to both the East and West parts of England. Alongside its agricultural heritage, Biggleswade is ideally situated along the River Ivel and has a long-standing tradition of weekly markets dating back to the Middle Ages.

We respect and value difference. We look to create an inclusive workplace that promotes and values diversity. Companies that are diverse in age, gender identity, race, religion, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, ethnicity, or any other aspect which makes them unique, are proven to be better companies. More importantly, creating an environment where everyone, from any background, can do their best work, is the right thing to do.
