Established in 1992, Selby-based Brecks initially produced cereals but now supplies plant-based ingredients, alongside vegetarian and vegan products to customers in the UK, Europe, North America and Asia.
It manufactures the Honey Monsters and Good Grain brands and also supplies retailers on an own-label basis.
Brecks recently created Plant & Bean, a joint venture with Thailand’s NR Instant Produce, as a dedicated plant-based company to manufacture meat-free mince, sausages, burgers and nuggets.
Brecks is currently developing an additional facility in Lincolnshire, in eastern England.
