Our client has recently completed a new food factory build in Peterborough. The factory manufactures a range of condiments and sauces in various formats, primarily for the fast-food industry, including many international brands. Although the new factory is in full production, there is still significant ongoing capital investment to complete the relocation of major assets and to further improve the effectiveness of the site. As a result, there is a high level of contractor activity conducting installation, modification, hot work, electrical works etc. All these activities require proactive health and safety controls to ensure the work is conducted efficiently, legally, safely and in compliance with all the site rules.
