Devon-based Clive’s Pies has switched to a bigger factory to increase production capacity.
The new purpose-built site in Dartmouth, which is four times the size of the firm’s previous home in Buckfastleigh, will tap into a growing demand for the company’s pastry products, it said.
The move is the first in 30 years for Clive’s Pies, whose plant-based bakes are 100% organic and available in plastic-free packaging.
The switch to the new site, which has brough 45 jobs to the area, will help the company prepare for the busy months ahead in Christmas and Veganuary, it added.
Clive’s Pies has gained £150,000 worth of funding from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, South Hams District Council, Devon and Cornwall Business Council and Food Drink Devon.
