Industry consultancy Gleeds has been selected to help deliver a new £55 million bakery in Lincolnshire.

The company will act as cost manager and sustainability consultant for Associated British Foods' scheme, which will see a new 15,540m² food production facility built on a former British Sugar site in Bardney.

The project involves creating a single-storey unit housing baking ovens, packing equipment and incoming materials. Further works include the provision of associated plant, equipment and external work areas that will adapt and make use of the existing concrete hard standings and internal roadways.

The development is expected to create 100 new jobs and boost the regional economy when it is finished in October 2017.

Gleeds Director, Anthony Cork, said: "We are delighted to be appointed on this exciting project for Associated British Foods which will turn a largely un-used manufacturing facility into a state of the art production facility."
