Uniq investment to boost desserts companies
Convenience food group Uniq have revealed they are to invest over £10 million in the dessert manufacturing sector in the coming year, in an attempt to revive the market and create new dessert food jobs, as well as giving their own sales figures a much-needed boost.
Uniq's commercial and development teams are planning to introduce new and exciting product ranges for supermarkets, investing heavily in equipping a desserts facility in Minsterly in order to achieve extra capacity and increase profitability. Uniq is already a major supplier for Marks & Spencer and the Co-operative, and they are looking to start making products for Cadbury as well as own-brand products for supermarkets.
CEO of the company Geoff Eaton has spoken of 'reinvigorating' the desserts category within their company, which has been underperforming of late. Although losses were reduced from £8.3 million to £2.9 million, sales of desserts dropped by 2.2% last year, and Mr Eaton is hoping to remedy this with the £10 million investment for the future.
Further developments for Uniq include opening a new production line at its sandwich factory in Northampton and investing in sophisticated data capture systems in factories in order to enhance quality.
