Description
HelloFresh, the German company specialised in packed lunches, has opened its first preparation centre in Lisses (Essonne), which already employs 600 people, and has announced plans to recruit a further 300 employees over the next two years. The new hires will be in operations, distribution and management. At this site, employees prepare the fresh, local ingredients needed for a meal and deliver them to customers, who must then cook the meal using pre-established recipes.
The group, established in 2011, is based in Berlin and employs around 20.000 people.
