Cheshire is a diverse, dynamic and internationally recognised centre of excellence in food and drink production and is part of one of the UK’s most important regions for food and drink processing and manufacturing.
With almost 2,000 firms, employing 24,000 people (including agricultural businesses and restaurants) and an annual GVA of £300 million, the industry in Cheshire encompasses everything from large scale operations manufacturing global brands such as Saxa salt, Weight Watchers pasta and sandwiches, Nestle’s Ski, Mars and Munch Bunch dairy products, to specialist businesses making traditional Cheshire cheese.
Cheshire’s strong links with food and drink partners in other parts of the region also provides a valuable framework for expansion and diversification within the sector and has led to the development of the `Made in Cheshire’ initiative which helps producers on a daily basis, to find more routes to local, national and international markets.
Cheshire is home to some of the industry’s most successful companies including: Arthur Chatwins Ltd, Fayrefield Foods Ltd, Frank Roberts & Sons Ltd, Gibsons Hot Bread Kitchens, Premier Foods, Joseph Helers Ltd, Nestle (UK) Ltd and New Primebake Ltd.
