Investment
Capacity built over time
Investment in our production site has always been a priority, and it has resulted in a consistency of product and capacity which is second to none. Significant investment has allowed us to expand and increase our production capacity.
We continue to replace and upgrade existing machinery with energy-efficient systems. In 2025 the site headcount was set to grow by 20% by the end of spring, with further expansion over the summer.
To confirm with FoodPro: Capacity figures (for example meals per week or per shift), number of lines, and blast-freezing and cold-store capacity on site.FoodPro at a glance
