A LEADING EUROPEAN FRESH FOODS PRODUCER had experienced sustained growth since its establishment as a family owned business twenty years previously.
Executive management had delivered impressive growth through organic expansion and acquisition, growing turnover to EUR €300m with 15 sales offices and five manufacturing and packaging plants across three countries.

Leadership played a key role in sponsoring the initiative and communicating plant-wide progress, successes and updates.
