Nottingham pasta firm builds £1.2m expansion

Nottingham-based Italian and continental food supplier, Giorgio’s Continental, is building a £1.2 million extension to its Newthorpe factory and creating 30 new jobs.

The 26,000 sq ft extension, funded via a £6.5 million financing facility provided by Santander Corporate Banking, will be used by Giorgio's subsidiary Pastaficio, which manufactures pasta products.

Giorgio’s was founded over 40 years ago. It began as a wholesale food business supplying local restaurants, but now services food manufacturers.

Antonion Tudion, md, said: “Our plans to expand the business are well progressed, with the new factory unit due to be completed later this summer and I feel confident that with Santander on board, we have a willing partner to allow us to achieve this.”
