Pie maker Pukka has announced a £4.5m investment at its Syston bakery to enhance its manufacturing capability and gear up for future growth.
The investment follows the release of annual figures to May 2020 showing the Leicestershire-based company’s turnover rising to £53.1m and profit up 13.5% at £4.1m.
“Our announcement of continued investment in the Syston bakery will further reinforce Pukka’s position as a key employer in the region, with local people being at the heart of our success and future vision,” said Deborah Ewan, CEO of Pukka.
Foodservice hit
Ewan insists the business remains in good health despite an impact on its foodservice division due to COVID-19, which makes continued investment possible.
