FOCUSED INVESTMENT

Focused Nutrition Ltd, speciality manufacturer of nutritionally enhanced snack foods, has officially announced plans for additional investment to expand its Stockport based site to accommodate recent business growth.

The investment will involve taking on additional warehouse space next to the firm’s existing site which, as well as facilitating a new office and reception area, will also increase production space. The investment will also allow for greater levels of finished stock to be stored on site and to provide greater production flexibility.

Martin Rooney, managing director at Focused Nutrition, comments: “Whether retailer or wholesale distributor, customers want quality and service, points we have taken heed of and this is why investment in our facilities is so important.An increasing number of business's will now benefit from this expansion.The benefits our products allow our partners and customers can now be further extended.

We have already demonstrated that the products we offer are of the highest quality which is why our business has grown so dramatically in a relatively short space of time. We want to build on this success by developing our facilities in order to maximise our potential as a company and provide unrivalled service within the functional and nutritional snack food market.”

Neil Fountain, CEO at Manchester’s Investment & Development Agency (MIDAS), believes that Focused Nutrition is taking the necessary steps to secure its position in what is undoubtedly a growth industry.

He comments: “Over the past few years, the food industry in Greater Manchester has certainly enjoyed a period of significant growth and this is representative of a national trend. Functional foods in particular are currently an area of massive interest.

With this in mind, Focused Nutrition is not just investing in its site, it is investing in its future. The firm has already demonstrated its capabilities as a leading manufacturer within the market; combine this with its trading location and the added capabilities that will come about as a result of its expansion, and it is easy to see a prosperous future for the firm.”
