Faccenda Foods is adding a ‘significant’ £5m investment to one of its three poultry processing facilities in the UK. The chicken processor, which supplies companies such as Nando’s and Asda, has announced it plans to add a 30,000 sq ft storage and distribution facility to its plant in Brackley, in order to provide a better operational process and facilities for employees.
“In 2008 we made an £8m investment in the modernisation of our Brackley production facilities,” explains managing director Andy Dawkins. “This further investment of £5m demonstrates our commitment to continue to develop and improve our poultry operations centred here in Brackley.”
Faccenda Foods is the UK’s second biggest poultry production company and it reportedly processes more than two million chickens a year, and with a turnover of more than £400m.
“Our focus with this development is to ensure our operations at Brackley are fit for the future, allowing us to take a major step forward in operational efficiency and employee working conditions, while reducing our environmental impact,” said operations director, Philip Davidson. “This significant investment is good for our customers and great news for the local community.”
