Clegg cooks up £20m food contracts
Nottingham-based Clegg Food Projects has been awarded two contracts totalling £20m. The company, which designs and constructs large-scale food operations, has won contracts with baking retailer Greggs and dairy firm Adams Food Group.
Clegg Food Projects has already started on the design and construction of a new bakery for Greggs in Longbenton, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, which will replace existing premises.
Stephen Giltrap, managing director of Clegg Food Projects, said: “Greggs’ new Gosforth Park Bakery will replace its existing bakery and is close to other Greggs production and distribution facilities, which we have also designed and built for the company.
“This is the 11th project we have will have carried out for Greggs in less than ten years. We are delighted to be working with this hugely successful client again on a key site in the area where the company originates.
“Clegg Food Projects has worked with Greggs for many years and it is satisfying to continue to work with, and support, a company which has progressed successfully to become a well-loved, Great British institution.”
The project at Adams involves the construction of a new 60,000 sq ft factory for the production of food ingredients in Leek, Staffordshire.
Work has started on site at both projects. The Greggs site is expected to complete in June 2011, and Adams in May 2011.
