A halal poultry firm has bought a brand new processing plant in Preston as they look to expand their business. Not only this, but the group are looking to purchase more plants as the demand for halal food grows.
Gafoor Poultry Products have been investing large amounts of money into their processing plants, and now have the capability to process 450,000 chickens every single week.
The company recently spent £4 million on automation of its processing and is now looking to launch its own brand of goods.
Gafoor spokesperson Dave Broxton said "Our strategy is to become one of the UK’s leading providers of chicken products, not only to the halal market but also to the conventional chicken sector."
