DEVELOPMENT UPGRADE KITCHEN IN SUNDERLAND PROJECT OVERVIEW
2 Sisters Food Group, one of the UK’s largest food manufacturers, appointed FSC to refurbish and upgrade their development kitchen facility at their Sunderland site.
The brief required removing the existing kitchen and installing a modern, hygienic development space, along with creating an adjoining conference room for product evaluation and stakeholder collaboration.
