Chamber Gold Patron, and local turkey giant Bernard Matthews says it is “back on track” after winning a contract with a major supermarket.
Following the contract win they are looking to create an extra 400 jobs at its Great Witchingham site after securing the deal to supply cooked chicken to a major supermarket chain.
Chris Just, Managing Director at Bernard Matthews said: “What’s great is that we have the ability to expand our capabilities and offer a cooked poultry product which is in such great demand.
“It is likely because of the scale of this new opportunity that we’re going to have to be innovative in the way we work and extend operations so we can fulfil orders. We’re delighted that the company has this opportunity and we can accordingly invest in the local and regional economy by providing new jobs and bringing about the associated opportunities that come with it from a supply chain and supplier perspective.”
