Bakkavor Salads Bo'ness jobs boost due to M&S and Costa Coffee partnership

As high street coffee shops and food outlets gear up for millions of employees returning to the workplace after the ending of Covid restrictions, the Bakkavor Salads team in Bo’ness will be making a range of fresh meal salads and snacks as part of a new partnership between M&S and Costa Coffee.

The Bo'ness team is making the range of top quality items for its long-standing customer M&S which launched last week in Costa Coffee.
