The investment will see a new £20m production line to make bread and rolls at its headquarters site on Wrexham Industrial Estate.

When it becomes operational, the 140,000sq ft bakery in Ash Road will be full to capacity.

It is also planning to convert and extend a storage facility that was built on a nearby site of the company's bakery that was destroyed by a devastating fire in 2019.

The scheme will see an additional investment of £27m and the new bakery will enable the company to continue to ramp up production.
