Pecan Deluxe Candy (Europe) Ltd, whose lines include fudge, chocolate and cookie dough pieces found in many supermarket products, says the £3m investment will significantly expand its warehousing, logistics and manufacturing capabilities. It is due for completion in October 2018.

Director of finance Stephanie Cryer said: “Thanks to its reputation across Europe as an innovative food tailor for any type of food company, Pecan Deluxe Europe has had an incredibly successful year with a record turnover of £13.5m.
