The company, which is owned by Growth Capital, said its turnover has grown from less than GBP40m (US$62.9m) to GBP160m “just under five years” transforming it into the “largest independent sugar confectionery manufacturer in the UK”.

However, the company added that while the plans for “further growth are exciting, operating in the current difficult economic environment means that the immediate focus remains on achieving the company’s financial objectives for 2010”.
