CREA Food Centre

Product:  Flowfresh HF
Market Sector:  Food & Drink
Location:  UK
Client:  CREA Food Technology Centre

 A new food- technology centre, designed to support artisan food and drink production, has started out on a good footing with the installation of a Flowcrete floor.

 

Cumbria’s new Food Technology Centre – recently opened by the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh and developed by the Distinctly Cumbrian business support programme - has been designed to help smaller food and drink producers move towards growth and larger scale production.

 

It provides facilities that bridge the gap between home kitchen and factory unit, housing several businesses in the Centre full time, while other units will be available on a more flexible basis for seasonal production or to deal with peak orders.

 

Located close to Penrith, the £1.5 million development has been funded by the Northwest Regional development Agency (NWDA) and the European Rural Development Fund, through Cumbria Rural Enterprise Agency (CREA).

 

Flowcrete’s Flowfresh HF - a flooring system that is geared up to the unique needs of food production – was installed throughout the units.
