A Norfolk poultry firm is investing £5m to double its processing capacity after the coronavirus pandemic accelerated the rising demand for free-range chickens and turkeys.
Traditional Norfolk Poultry has started work on a major extension to its factory at Shropham, near Attleborough.
The first phase, due to be completed in autumn, will increase the chilling, packing and processing capacity to allow the firm to produce up to 500,000 turkeys in time for Christmas.
The second stage will then focus on chickens, creating more space within the packing and distribution areas to streamline production lines and take capacity up to 300,000 chickens per week - double the firm s current output.
