McCain Foods starts Scarborough re-development

McCain Foods has officially marked the start of construction on a project to invest over £100million into its Scarborough production facility, in a ground breaking ceremony at the Eastfield site in the UK. Established in Eastfield almost 50 years ago, the McCain Foods Scarborough facility is one of the Company’s most successful sites. Regional CEO for McCain GB & Ireland, Nick Vermont, said: “We are delighted to be officially cutting ground and commencing our renewal plans for the Scarborough site. The investment we are making to renew the facility will secure the continued, long-term success of our site here in Eastfield for generations to come, allowing us to meet the increased demand for our products. As well as upgrading equipment, we will also be delivering broader environmental benefits, such as installing state-of-the-art odour reduction technology.” (Source: Yorkshire Coast Radio)
