Hain Frozen foods £1.5 million new plant

Hain frozen foods have just finished their new £1.5 million dessert plant, only 16 weeks after the contact was awarded in May.

The frozen food firm has created 35 new food jobs at its plant at Holt Road, Fakenham. The plant, which currently provides Linda McCartney meat free foods, will now add a range of crumbles and sponge puddings to its production which will be supplied to a major retailer.

Turnover at the factory is expected to double to £25 million over the coming year and the factory recently featured at the Food Manufacture Excellence awards. Hain frozen foods have turned around its fortunes of late and with this new investment and the 35 food jobs created, the business has firmly laughed in the face of the recession.

The factory have recently introduced a 4 day shift pattern to improve efficiency and with lean manufacturing techniques now part of the day to day business plan it is important that improvements are sustained to move the factory to new levels over the coming years.
