Heck: Yorkshire sausage-maker set to expand into frozen foods next year
Yorkshire-based Heck Foods is set to expand into frozen foods next year after a multi-million-pound extension to its Bedale facility.
The company is set to build a roughly 17,500 sq. ft extension to its existing facility, with Wakefield-based HJ Consulting (HJCE) providing consultancy advice as well as civil and structural engineering services.
Heck supplies millions of sausages, burgers, mince and meatballs every year to retailers and supermarkets across the North of England.
A spokesperson for Heck said: “Our commitment to investing in extending production capacity is a major part of our ambitious growth plans.
“Working alongside our in-house team and other partners, HJCE has been engaged to create a state-of-the-art production facility that will meet our long-term strategic needs.”
HJCE will provide extensive technical and consultancy support around the development of a purpose-built modern facility, which the firm said will be built using “the latest low-carbon construction methods”.
Andrew Fairburn, managing director of HJCE, said: “This is another great project for us, helping to deliver a new factory to support Heck’s plans to develop its manufacturing operations further”.”
