JPG is consulting with the German manufacturer to help deliver specialist production facilities on the 722,000 sq ft site, and put in place appropriate structural design solutions. This involves substantial design work to support four production buildings, an energy conservation centre, silo buildings, a despatch building and a gatehouse.
The factory will have capacity to produce some 48,000 tonnes of sweets annually, predominantly serving the UK. The £92m investment is creating nearly 300 jobs and has been backed by a £6.4m grant from the government’s Regional Growth Fund as part of round 1 of the scheme.
