The move will also result in 90 new permanent roles. The spokesperson could not disclose how much capacity would increase.
In a statement, CEO Rob Burnett said: “Over the last few years we have set ourselves the challenge of returning to profitability and a key part of this is growing the demand for our products all year round – not simply at Christmas. This strategy has begun to bear fruit and we will be effectively and profitably utilising the capacity at our Great Witchingham site.”
