For Alison, Arthur Mallon Foods has always been part of the family. Her father started working with Arthur in the original butcher’s shop, delivering orders on the bike before becoming the very first Arthur Mallon Foods van driver. So, when Alison joined the company at 15 for a summer job wrapping sausages, it felt like the most natural thing in the world.

Next year will mark 40 years since Tony Murphy first walked through the doors at Arthur Mallon Foods. Over the decades, Tony has worked in just about every corner of Arthur Mallon Foods, from production, to dispatch, to maintenance. Today, he’s a Facilities Engineer, but he still talks fondly about those early days side-by-side with Paddy on the line. When asked to describe Mallons in three words, Tony didn’t miss a beat: “Happy go lightly"

"I wouldn’t leave and go anywhere else. They have always been very good to me." And after four decades, Paddy still says the same thing about Arthur Mallon Foods as she did on day one: "It’s busy and lovely."

Paddy Lappin

I used to hear people talk about Mallons all the time, and I thought, "He [Paddy] must be a great entrepreneur, the way everyone talks about him." I remember saying to myself, "I need to find out how to work for this man!"

Pamela Hughes, Head of Finance

At Arthur Mallon Foods, every voice matters. We don’t just see roles, we see stories, and the people behind them. That genuine care and connection is what makes this a place where work feels meaningful.

Cathy Flynn, HR Manager

"I started in Mallons in November 95 and now 30 years later I never found the need to look for another job which says it all." Helen spent almost three decades in quality and technical before moving into her current role as Head of Operations. Through every challenge, it's the sense of family that has kept Helen here. When asked to sum up what Mallons means to her, she doesn't hesitate: "Family. Supportive. Progressive."
