Hayden’s Bakeries has opened bigger premises in Devizes, with the aim of creating 150 new jobs over the next three years.

The firm, a division of The Real Good Food Company, makes bakery, patisserie and chilled dessert products for retailers including Waitrose and Marks & Spencer.

It has added 30,000sq ft to its 74,000sq ft site which will be used for distribution. MD Paul Smith said the new buiding would free up a large amount of space in the existing factory.

He said: "We have strong new product development and will hopefully be producing some cutting-edge new products for the premium end of the chilled dessert market, particularly for Waitrose. We are in a great place to benefit from the new concepts that Waitrose are trialling, and we are looking to expand with new customers too."
