'This investment and job creation reinforces our long-standing commitment': Recruitment drive comes on the back of a multi-million-pound investment which will see Sysco double its operations in Northern Ireland

Sysco, Ireland's leading foodservice specialist, has announced the creation of 50 new jobs as it prepares to open Sysco Belfast, its new £23m purpose-built facility later this year.

Sysco, which incorporates specialist businesses Classic Drinks and Ready Chef, is now actively recruiting for management roles, warehouse operatives, facilities technicians and contact centre executives.

The recruitment drive, which commenced earlier this month and will run until September, will see Sysco’s headcount in Northern Ireland rise to more than 300.

Speaking on the job creation and investment, Mark Lee, CEO of Sysco Ireland, said: “While food is at the heart of what we do at Sysco, our business and the hospitality industry, are powered by people.

"As Sysco Belfast comes on stream, and our team of foodservice experts grows, we look forward to further enhancing our delivery service and product range proposition for our customers. We are fully committed to our food future and to creating a positive change in our organisation, the environment and the communities we serve.

"This investment and job creation reinforces our long-standing commitment to expanding our operations in Northern Ireland and we look forward to welcoming new talent to the Sysco Belfast team.”

Sysco Ireland currently employs more than 1,700 people across 10 facilities nationwide.

Sysco invites ambitious individuals to explore these exciting new career opportunities and join its growing, dynamic team. For further information and application details, visit: https://syscoireland.com/careers/
