The company did not respond to just-food’s request for details of the new business. However, Five Star’s acting site lead Mark Dalby said: “The upgrade has introduced new technology, an extra line and the widening of a second.”
Simon Wookey, the managing director of 2 Sisters’ meal solutions division, added: “The investment at Five Star will provide the platform for sustained growth and position the site so it can deliver the future needs of our customers.”
Wookey said 2 Sisters “is in the midst of a multi-million pound programme and the ongoing investments made in the last 12 months represents the largest the business has ever undertaken”.
Five Star Fish was bought by 2 Sisters in 2010 and began supplying retailers with chilled coated fish in 2012. The facility, which employs around 500, provides chilled and frozen coated fish for retail and foodservice outlets.
