Feeley said that the company had been “at the heart” of “major category developments and innovations in M&S food-to-go,” including the Gourmet-to-Go range, Fresh Salad Wraps, Nations Favourties, Simply and Meal Deal launches.


 


 “We have a very well-invested facility, great people and a powerful relationship with M&S which together provides a great platform for future growth of our M&S partnership,” he commented.


 


The new volumes – including sandwich skillets and flatbread products – are due to transfer to UNiq’s Northampton production site between July 2009 and April 2010.
