Site Engineering Apprentice

Company:
The Tofoo Company Ltd

In 2015, husband and wife David Knibbs and Lydia Smith bought a small artisan tofu business in Malton, North Yorkshire which had been run by Ron, a Vegan and absolute student of making the best tofu from a traditional Japanese recipe. Their vision was to launch an exciting new, tofu brand using this fantastic product to show that the world should love tofu. They wanted to create a fun and exciting brand that could be stocked within UK supermarkets and that made high quality handmade tofu accessible to all. In September 2016, The Tofoo Co.  was born. So, we’re starting a tofu revolution – one delicious meal at a time. Are you with us?
