===Recurring=== {{unreferenced section|date=May 2025}} *'''[[Sue Devaney]] as Jane''' :A member of the planning department, she had a small but significant role in the first series, usually ordering the toast round for meetings. In the second series, she played a larger role, having an ongoing wager with the canteen staff on whether Bren and Tony would "get it on" by Christmas Eve. She reportedly had a drunken snog herself with Tony whilst on holiday in [[Marbella]]. *'''Andrew Livingston''' (series 1) and '''Adrian Hood''' (series 2) as '''Norman''' :Delivers bread to the canteen. Norman is dour, work-shy, agoraphobic and "technically" a bigamist. He often attributes his agoraphobia to an incident when he "fell off a diving board in Guernsey". He also developed a fear of bread in the second series. *'''[[Sue Cleaver]] as Glenda''' :A bread supplier who often takes over Norman's duties when his agoraphobia is plaguing him. She underwent bladder surgery, the nature of which is never directly mentioned. Tony often jokes that she is his "fantasy woman" and once claimed she bore a resemblance to the UK comic character [[Desperate Dan]]. *'''[[Christopher Greet]] as Mr Michael''' :Senior staff member of HWD Components; it is hinted that he is a manager or even managing director. He was in a relationship with Philippa, which was the reason she moved to Manchester. He is a fan of [[trad jazz]], jigsaws, custard and [[Garibaldi biscuit]]s. *'''[[Bernard Wrigley]] as Bob''' :A factory worker who appears at the counter in a number of episodes, usually asking for bacon or liver. He takes a mild interest in canteen gossip. *'''[[Steve Huison]] as Steve Greengrass''' :A perennially unlucky individual considered a jinx by the rest of the factory. He was reluctantly invited on the Marbella trip by Jane, as his last three holidays were cancelled due to various unfortunate events, but he fell down a staircase after tripping on spilled orange juice Anita forgot to clean, resulting in a space being left open for Bren. Steve has to separate his food before eating it, an eccentricity that only adds to his alienation from his co-workers. *'''[[Kate Robbins]] as Babs''' :A friend of Petula's from [[Urmston]], with a possible [[learning disability]] and a vast knowledge of catering appliances, which briefly attracts Stan towards her. After accompanying Petula to the factory's Christmas party uninvited (as was Petula), it is she who arrives to inform Bren that Petula's caravan has exploded and she needs money, which leads to Bren forfeiting her place in the group holiday to Marbella
