Mrs. Bector'S Food Specialities Ltd.

Down on Theing Road in Phillaur, that’s where you’ll find the Mrs. Bector'S Food Specialities Ltd. plant. It’s a big part of the local landscape here. A lot of people from around Phillaur come here every day to work the shifts. You can usually tell when we’re baking something because the whole area starts to smell like biscuits or bread. It’s a busy place with a lot of movement. We have trucks coming in and out all day long, navigating the road. Inside, it’s noisy with all the machinery and the sound of things being packaged. It’s not a quiet office job; it’s a lot of standing and watching the lines to make sure everything is coming out right. We’ve got a lot of history on Theing Road, and many of us have been working here for years. It’s just what we do. The work is repetitive, but it is necessary for getting things out to the stores. We don’t really talk in big corporate terms; we just talk about the flour, the ovens, and the shipping schedules. Sometimes the machines act up or the heat gets a bit intense near the ovens, but we just manage it. It’s a community of workers more than anything else. We show up, we do the job, and we take pride in the stuff we make here in Phillaur without making a big fuss about it.
