The Food Works hub supporting product development and business engagement
The dynamic development supports local food and drink businesses with state of the art facilities, technical support and expert advice. The spaces have been designed to the highest hygiene standards whilst offering a welcoming and engaging climate in which to operate.
Production and Innovation hubs working in partnership
The site is unique in its capacity to host food and drink businesses of any size, form and status. Food Works sets out to encourage engagement, innovation, creation and development hence the two hubs co-existing on one site.
The Engagement Centre
The multi-functional development offers food and drink businesses the opportunity to plan, create and innovate. As part of this the site hosts an engagement centre to support learning and collaboration between these local enterprises.
Onsite development kitchens
The site houses four development kitchens which are equipped to support businesses in developing their products from small start ups to large enterprises.
"As a practice with regional studios we are passionate about supporting local business and in Food Works we found an ideal opportunity to do just this. We worked closely with this talented delivery team to achieve Food Works and we are delighted to witness the success the centre is now enjoying. The support Food Works offers local food and drink businesses to thrive is excellent, particularly in the current climate."
The logo that captures the ethos behind the scheme
Our interior designers worked with the team to develop this concept that embraces the essence of Food Works; a vibrant centre of excellence that connects local food and drink businesses to innovate and grow.
