Lubborn-Cheese-Ltd

Production area. 

This job is like working in a 25 degree heated gym. It's very hot and very heavy work. Very constant work. 

It's suits a young man in his 20s with no gf or kids. Who wants to work any hours and doesn't care what the hours are. From one week to the next.

If that's you, you can earn decent money here. As there is lots and lots of work available. 

They give you the rota on a Thursday for your hours the following week. So not much time to plan. They have a clock machine on your breaks.

The heaviest task is turning cheese. Flipping 20kg trays in the air for about 4 hours a day. All tasks there are heavy and cause pain to your back.

They can put you on any shift each week and even make you work saturday morning. Normally you will work until 730pm/830pm a few times a week. If there is a machine problem they expect you to stay on to catch up. Everyone signs a flexible contract to be available Monday to Friday for 40 hours work. 

Hourly rate is decent. The overtime pay is very good. But they try their best to only give people 40 hours. So they don't pay time and a half. 

There is a huge turnover of staff as people normally last 1 day as its so hot and heavy and walk out. So normally they are short of staff each day. 

Avoid if you don't like to work in heavy hot environments and you don't want your back to hurt for an hour after work each night.

They provide some free cheese and dairy related items. For the staff from time to time. The staff on the shopfloor are all decent guys. 



Job is very heavy in very hot condition. Over 25 degrees for at least 8 hours of your day. In the main task you need to turn/lift/flip ova cheeses in 15kg plus trays. It's required to lift around 1600 trays of 15kg per day. Plus other tasks all in hot conditions and all have wear and tear on the back for the remaining 5/6 hours of your shift. My back hurt lots too much. Your expected to stay on if you havi delays for an hour after your rota time. The only give you your rota for the next week on a Friday morning. The can rota you on any hours they like Monday to Friday. As you sign flexible contract Monday to Fridays. They don't do shift work. They have a clock machine on the break time. They do give some nice cheeses for free for the staff sometimes. Hourly rate was good and overtime rate was good. I would recommend job for young person who want to make lot of money. I leave because work was too heavy for my back. 

Work started at 0700 hours and ended at 1630 hours. Line manager delegated us to our first work stations and I was assigned to put cheese on line which is the most difficult task.  Before entering production area every worker is expected to wash his orher hands thoroughly and put on rubber gloves ,gumboots,hood and worksuits. Working positions are rotated after every break.

Most enjoyable part of the job is operating a shuttle. Management treat support staff fairly well.Teamwork is a requirement throughout the production process.

I think this is good Place to work, i would recommend because one of the main purpose of the factory is to work as a team and people are helpful, working hours are very good with opportunities for overtimes that are paid very Well, you can always learn new things and there are chances of progression, every person has their work station and knows theirs tasks so there is no confusion during production,
I would recommend this place for sure. 

Used to be a really good place to work, you were thought of and respected by your managers. Now that has changed for the worse. The site manager is the problem with the place as is not interested in what workers have to say and if he could he would have you working 24 hours a day. Other managers on site will tell him the problems and what is needed but you'd be better talking to a brick wall. It's no coincidence the place has gone down rapidly since he joined the business. This is coming from someone who worked there for 21 years. 

The typical day in this job I could disribe as cooperation people and departments follow by plan.
I learned a cuple of thing in this place as set up a some of the packing machine and specification of product which is mould cheese.
There is mamagment staff as well which organize the job for other members of team. The company employs about 60 employees from few countries.
The hardest part of the job is when we have a problem with comunication, the most enjoyable when reach our the goals

First thing in the morning after wearing PPE i report to the supervisor. The supervisor assigns me to a workstation to perform tasks. Which in turn we switch roles station to station hence making the job easy and interesting. With the guidance of our superiors it make team work easy. It gives me joy to finally get to package the final product after seeing the long process in production for the consumer.

This is a very physical job, in very hot conditions, you definitely need to be fit & healthy. There seems to be a large amount of Europeans, so hopefully you can speak a small amount, otherwise you may feel victimised.

I started in packing and on the extruder. It is fast pace but the environment is nice and people are very friendly. I'm leaving now because not so much job but i will come back for the peak production period.
Clear instructions, fast pace but easy to understand tasks. It is sometime hot and wet but OK.

I loved the challenge and the whole manufacturing process which I was priveledged to be part of. Lubborn has really friendly people working there. The management are very accommodating and friendly. Work is rewarding and physically satisfying!
