Core Tip: A Cornish pasty firm has secured a government investment of £1.5M, which it will use to expand its business and create 50 jobs.
The investment came from the Business Catalyst Fund, which is financed by the Regional Growth Fund (RGF). Bodmin-based Proper Cornish will use it to part-fund a £3.75M expansion project that will bring all of its six sites together under one roof.
This will help the business to run more efficiently, create 50 new jobs and safeguard a further 183 posts. An empty unit on Bodmin’s Walker Lines Industrial estate will now be converted into a modern bakery and head office.
