Dessert and speciality food manufacturer, Destiny Foods has officially opened 30,000²ft of new premises expanding its core product range by 20%.

The new premises house a 1,700-pallet cold store and office suite, allowing Destiny Foods to introduce a range of new product lines, including ‘made without gluten’ artisan breads and savoury products.

The company mission is to provide ‘made without gluten’ desserts that taste just as high quality as their gluten-containing counterparts. It’s also acting as exclusive UK supplier of the Spanish sourdough range with its carefully selected new artisan bread products.

“Expanding our premises has given us the capacity to increase our product portfolio and add lines that provide a real point of difference,” says managing director, Richard Watts.

“A rising number of consumers require made without gluten products and we want them to enjoy their favourite desserts without compromising on taste and quality. Incorporating new bread and savoury ranges also allows us to diversify our offering and meet the varied needs of our customers. The way our business has expanded in recent years is a real achievement and I’m incredibly proud of my team,” he continues.

John Hughes, councillor for Gorton North, adds: “It’s brilliant to see a local business expanding and supporting the local economy.

“A substantial proportion of Destiny Foods’ employees are local people and it is evident that the team has a great working relationship. I wish them every success as they continue to grow their business across the UK,” he concludes.
