Duncan McGregor, Planet Doughnut joint founder
Planet Doughnut has moved into a new production base and is recruiting more staff after receiving £114,800 from the Marches Building Investment Grant (MBIG).
The Shropshire bakery, which supplies Plant Doughnut retail outlets in Shrewsbury and Telford, will operate 24-hour production at the Battlefield bakery as part of its expansion drive.
Duncan McGregor – who set up the business in 2017 with his wife Samantha – said more than 10 jobs would be created by the summer and revealed plans to increase the wholesale distribution of pre-packed doughnuts with both major and independent retailers.
“We expect turnover at the bakery to reach £750,000 this year and to be employing 32 people there,” he said. “The move to the new production base is vital to help with that growth.”
