About working in Ashby-de-la-Zouch
Ashby-de-la-Zouch is a market town of about 13,000 on the A511, near the Leicestershire / Derbyshire border. It's a small town with two outsized local employers — McVitie's (United Biscuits) and Pera Innovation Park — and beyond those, the usual mix of retail, care and small-business work in the high street and on the Ashby industrial estate.
McVitie's Ashby bakery on Wellington Parkway, off the A511, has been operating for decades and is the main employer in town across production, engineering and supply chain. Pera Innovation Park (out at Melton Road — same Pera as in Melton Mowbray, which causes constant confusion between the two locations) hosts R&D facilities and consultancy firms. United Biscuits' overall recruitment pipeline pulls from Ashby, Coalville, Swadlincote and Burton, so most production roles are open to candidates from any of those towns.
Distribution and food manufacturing fill most of the live listings, plus a healthy run of care work (Ashby has more retirement-age population than the county average). The A511 connects to the M1 at junction 22 and the M42 at junction 11 — both about 10-15 minutes from the town. Postcode: LE65 covers Ashby itself; LE67 for the Coalville-direction villages.
