Birtwistle's started life as a family butcher over 100 years ago. Since then, the business has changed dramatically and none more so than in recent years.

In 2003, MJ Birtwistle & Co Ltd was established and marked the start of a new era in our history. Since then, growth has been dramatic, with the business expanding from one site at Worsley to eight sites across the UK.

We're always looking for great people to come and work with us. If you've got the right passion, drive, and will to succeed, then we'll nurture it and give you the opportunities to forge a successful career at Birtwistle's.
