For the well-known sausage and meat products to the Fish & Chip trade is bucking the trend by continuing to expand and is now in the process of investing £4million in a new manufacturing facility.
Blakeman insists that its reputation for consistent high quality is directly linked to its policy of investing in the latest plant and machinery.
It's new plant follows an industry leading design and is set to achieve the lowest carbon footprint for a development of its type and so will be one of the most advanced in Europe.
Managing Director, Philip Blakeman is currently overseeing much of the massive project himself. He says: "We've been committed to supplying the catering and fast food industries with the highest quality product for over fifty years. We've positioned ourselves strongly to make this investment that demonstrates our commitment to the future of the industry. It'll double our production capacity, ensuring we continue to supply our customers with products that meet their quality requirements."
In addition to the manufacturing unit the new facility, planned to open in the Autumn, includes a cold store, warehouse, offices and staff facilities.
