REAL GOOD FOOD UNVEILS GLOBAL HEADQUARTERS FOR
FOOD TECHNOLOGY, INNOVATION AND CAKE DECORATION SKILLS IN
LIVERPOOL
Real Good Food (AIM: RGD) has launched its newly constructed
Liverpool Development Centre and Academy, which will serve as an
international hub for food manufacturing innovation and cake
decoration skills training for the Company.
The Company, which owns a number of well-known names in the food
manufacturing market, has recently re-organised into three
divisions: cake decoration, food ingredients and premium
bakery.
The opening of its state of the art Development Centre will add
to the Company's global toolkit - allowing further product
development, innovation and refinement across all Group operating
companies. The Centre will be a platform for the inspirational
application of Real Good Food products and will allow the Company
to embrace and test emerging technologies in ingredients, processes
and packaging.
The new facility based in Wavertree also incorporates an
Innovation Centre - which has been fitted with world-class baking
equipment and top-of-the-range technology as well as The Renshaw
Academy which will train and develop students and industry
professionals from all over the world in the latest techniques in
cake decoration. The Academy aims to partner with Liverpool City
College.
The Academy will tap into the ever growing demand for cake
decoration and will support the growing spectrum of consumers in
that market from world renowned professionals to the first time
novice.
The building has been fitted with world-class teaching aids,
equipment, tools and technology and has the ability to live-stream
classes or demonstrations around the world. The first students will
begin courses in July.
Wavertree will also become the Northern hub of the Group -
serving as the regional office for Real Good Food plc - housing
Group HR, Technical and Operations teams.
Pieter Totte, Executive Chairman Real Good Food commented:
"We are always looking for ways to be innovative and the Real
Good Food Liverpool Development Centre is a place where our experts
can explore, create, teach and learn with some of the best
equipment in the world. There is a growing global market for our
products and we want customers to be inspired to bake at home with
our top of the range, creative ingredients.
We have a long and proud association with the City of Liverpool
and its people and through our Renshaw factory have been a major
employer here for many years. The Development Centre is an
important initiative and investment for us and I can think of no
better city in which to base this world leading facility."
Elaine Bowker, Principal of Liverpool City College said:
"Baking and cake decoration is an incredibly skilled and
creative trade and this investment here in Liverpool by Real Good
Food will not only benefit the local community, but will serve as a
global hub for food technologists and scientists, bakers and other
creatives working in the food industry. We are very excited to be
working with Real Good Food in this world-class facility."
