The Real Good Food Company promises manufacturing investment

The Real Good Food Company – the sugars, ingredients and bakery firm – said today (22 September) that it was delighted by the progress it had made during the first six months of what remained a transitional year and undertook to invest in its processing and manufacturing site near Wakefield in West Yorkshire.

Announcing the company's annual results for six months ended 30 June, the company said it had seen significant sales growth and earnings were in line with expectations. Chairman Pieter Totté (pictured) commented: "I am delighted by the progress which the Group has made during the first half. We have achieved significant sales growth at our bakery ingredients and bakery businesses and while sugar has had a more difficult run with lower prices following the end of the EU regime, the summer saw this being reversed to our benefit." He added that the company now had a clearly defined strategy for the business which included restructuring into four focused business units and investment in its Normanton processing and manufacturing site "to ensure maximum flexibility to provide customers with a broad range of sugars in whatever format they require".
