Since becoming operational last year, the site has seen significant investment. The Bromborough site uses state-of-the-art food manufacturing technology and equipment.

The latest investment will also help support further growth and expansion in the future of the site, including the addition of new machinery and innovative technologies in 2022.

Currently, the site supports over 120 jobs in the local area with wide-ranging operational roles, as well as engineering and technical apprenticeships.

“This investment marks our commitment to the site and the local jobs it supports, which is great news for our business, the local community and our customers," said Andrew Cracknell, CEO of Pilgrim's UK.

Pilgrim’s UK supplies Co-op with 100% higher welfare, outdoor bread and RSPCA assured products. The Bromborough site is responsible for the majority of this supply.
