We Are McCain - GB

"When my family ask what I do for a living, I usually say, 'I help sell chips.' 🍟

But the reality? It's so much more than that.

We asked Alex from our Category team to share what it's really like to work here. The result is something we're genuinely proud of.

Alex works with pubs, bars and restaurants across the UK, helping them get the most from their menus with McCain products. Her colleague Chloe does the same in retail, partnering with some of the country's biggest supermarkets.

Different customers. Different challenges.
One shared goal: helping our customers succeed.

We're growing our Category team and have opportunities available right now. If Alex's story sounds like the kind of environment you'd love to be part of, we'd love to hear from you. Link in comments!

A huge thank you to Alex, Chloe and everyone who helped bring this story to life. 🧡

The McCain Fundables 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️ our incredible volunteer fundraising team - have officially opened the McCain Suite: a fully accessible holiday flat at Saint Catherine's Scarborough, giving people with medical conditions or additional needs the chance to enjoy a seaside break during some of life's most difficult moments.

In their very first year (2025), the Fundables raised an extraordinary £23,584.75 through bingo nights, quizzes, a golf day, raffles and cake sales - and this is what that money looks like in real life. A beautiful, fully equipped two-bedroom flat with kitchen, en-suite, dining room and a stunning patio overlooking the gardens.

This is what community looks like.
This is what showing up for people looks like.

A huge congratulations and thank you to our Fundables and every single McCain colleague who has donated, participated, or cheered them on. You did this. 💙

The team are already going again in 2026 - with the second annual Golf Day planned for July!

Daddy or Chips? 👀🍟

It’s another and we think this one might be one of our all-time favourites.

“Daddy or chips?” became such an iconic line, we’ve even got it plastered on the wall at our Scarborough HQ - much to the confusion of our international visitors and Gen Z colleagues alike. 😂

We are still backing Sophie on this one… right?

If you grew up in the UK, there’s a good chance you can still hear a McCain Foods advert in your head…

Over the years, our TV adverts have become a bit of a cultural soundtrack -simple, feel-good moments that somehow stick with you long after the telly’s off - "Clickety click, micro chips" 😜

From catchy jingles to family dinner scenes, and of course the iconic McCain Oven Chip campaigns… they’ve always centred around one thing: real life moments at home.

That “ping” of the oven.
Everyone drifting into the kitchen without being called.
Proper easy tea, no fuss, just togetherness.

And whilst the adverts have evolved over the years - and the product range has grown well beyond just oven chips - that core idea hasn’t really changed. Bringing people together over good food.

𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗠𝗰𝗖𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁?
More classics might resurface over the coming weeks. 👀

A huge moment for McCain Foods 🌱

We’re proud to share that our third and final global Farm of the Future will launch right here in North Yorkshire in 2026 – also home to our GB headquarters for over 50 years.

Building on established farms in Canada and South Africa, this 202-hectare commercial site will be our most advanced yet. Delivered in partnership with the University of Leeds, it brings together real-world farming and scientific validation to prove regenerative agriculture works at scale.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲:

🌱 Controlled traffic farming, year-round soil cover and biodiversity building
🔄 The first Farm of the Future to pilot a circular nutrient system
🚜 Trials of autonomous vehicles and alternative fuels
📊 Transparent annual reporting and shared global insight

The learnings won’t sit in isolation. They’ll be shared with our 250 British growers and our global network of 4,400 farmers.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮 𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆.

Behind this launch are our Agriculture, Sustainability, Supply Chain and Manufacturing teams - people who work tirelessly with our growers day in, day out to build a more resilient, sustainable supply chain. From field to factory, they’re focused on creating a more planet friendly product without compromising on quality or performance.

This is what looks like in action.

It’s what a career with a purpose looks like.
🌱Real investment.
🌱Real innovation.
🌱Real impact.

In GB alone, 86% of our potato acreage is now “Engaged” or higher in our regenerative framework. We’ve reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 25% and water intensity by 19% since 2017 - measurable progress towards a more sustainable food system.

For anyone passionate about sustainability, food systems or shaping the future of British agriculture - this is work that genuinely matters.

Future-focused farming. Backed by science. Powered by people.

Behind every bag of McCain Foods is incredible teamwork, innovation, and precision. 🥔🍟

We were excited to have the opportunity to film with Paddy McGuinness & Cherry Healey for the BBC’s Inside the Factory, showcasing how a lorry load of 28 tonnes of potatoes can be transformed into 1.7 million frozen chips in just two hours. From steam peeling to precise cutting and automated packing, it’s a brilliant example of how our teams bring scale, quality, and consistency together.

Proud to see the passion, skill, and care that go into every product we make.

If you want to see more than just what’s on your plate and discover the work that goes behind it, tune into BBC One on Tuesday at 8pm or watch on BBC iPlayer 📺

The series was produced by VOLTAGE TV PRODUCTIONS LIMITED part of BBC Studios.
