NPD KITCHEN INSTALLATION IN GRIMSBY FOR NEW ENGLAND SEAFOOD

NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT KITCHEN INSTALLATION IN GRIMSBY PROJECT OVERVIEW

As part of wide-scale improvements to their Grimsby facility, seafood manufacturer New England Seafood required a new product development (NPD) kitchen to support the creation of innovative seafood products for third-party clients.

FSC was appointed to design and deliver a bespoke commercial kitchen environment tailored to the client’s operational processes and technical requirements.

The Client’s Challenge

Key requirements included:

• A purpose-built test kitchen suitable for product innovation
• Hygienic, easy-to-clean surfaces compliant with food preparation standards
• A layout that supports efficient food preparation and testing
• Integration with nearby meeting areas so new products could be presented to stakeholders and clients
• A professional environment that reflects the company’s reputation within the UK seafood sector
• The challenge was to design and install a fully functional development kitchen within the existing facility while ensuring hygiene, practicality and visual presentation standards were all met.

Our Solution

Following the design approval, FSC delivered a complete New Product Development kitchen installation, including:

• Internal wall formation and suspended ceiling installation to create the structure of the new kitchen environment
• Non-slip LVT flooring installation by the FSC Flooring Division, providing a hygienic, durable and easy-to-clean surface suitable for food preparation areas
• Bespoke commercial kitchen installation, including premium carcasses, marble worktops and integrated extraction systems

• Air conditioning installation to regulate temperature, control humidity, and improve air quality within the kitchen environment
• Glass screening installation to create a visual connection between the kitchen and adjacent boardroom for food presentation and tastings
• Appliance installation, including ovens, hobs and all associated plumbing and electrical works required for the kitchen to become fully operational

The result was a compliant, efficient environment.

Project Outcomes / Benefits:

The completed New Product Development Kitchen provides:

• A bespoke environment designed around operational workflows
