Bagged salad producer has expanded

The site in Selsey created 100 new jobs

A bagged salad producer with sites in Selsey and Runcton is expanding. 

Nature's Way Foods has built 2,500 square metres to 12,400 square metres of land to the Selsey site, making it the largest bagged salad site in the UK.

The Selsey site is known as the Home of Babyleaf, and has been extended twice since its opening in 1995.

Natures Way Foods has spent the past 12 months building the addition to the existing factory and it now contains some of the most advanced and leading-edge kit.  The project team at NWF have worked collaboratively with machine specialists to design bespoke solutions for washing, preparing and bagging babyleaf products.

In addition to the investment in the factory build and kit, the IT infrastructure has been significantly upgraded with fibreoptic cabling and a redesign to support the future growth of the business. Roof-mounted air conditioning units have been installed to provide stable temperature and humidity and UPS’s to ‘clean’ the power input and provide short periods of backup when required.

The site expansion has led to 100 new roles at the Selsey site alone and there is a full-scale onboarding and training process in place to support the teams.
