CLEGG FOOD PROJECTS has completed a multi-million pound scheme to expand the production capacity of a large UK bakery.

Nationally renowned Clegg Food Projects, which provides solutions for major food operations all over the country, was awarded the contract to increase output at Fletchers Bakeries’ Sheffield site.

John Moxon, business development director at Clegg Food Projects, said: “We’re delighted to have completed the work to boost production for our client.

“It is reassuring that we have continued to secure a number of significant contracts such as this in the current, difficult financial climate.  We have completed many similar projects to this scheme which meant our experience and expertise was ideally suited to carry out the work to the very highest standards.

“At Clegg Food Projects we ensure that we can provide our clients with a range of design, engineering and specialist construction and consultancy solutions.  Therefore, we can ensure that we can help our clients, or potential clients, whatever stage they are at with their project,” John added.

The work on the Sheffield site involved converting an existing de-commissioned freezer area to increase production capacity for the bakery.  There was demolition work involved and modifications to the car park and vehicle entrances were also part of the project.

Operations continued on site as the work took place to improve manufacturing and boost output.
