Following significant investment over the last ten years in Cross Hands, over 500 staff are now employed on the site that has a production capacity of 1,000 tonnes per week. The facility features the technology in traceability, robotics, packaging, labelling and slicing, allowing for the processing of a wide range of products in a variety of packaging formats.

Charlotte Sutton of Dawn Meats said: This has been a site of growth and innovation since 2005, and we are in the process of investing further in the site to meet the evolving demands of the modern consumer and secure volume, growth and employment for the future.
