MORRISONS has opened a new £1.4 million innovation centre in Bradford.

The supermarket giant’s fresh food manufacturing operation officially opened the ‘Greenside Innovation Centre’, off Cemetery Road, as part of a significant investment programme. 

The centre features a new state-of-the-art development and showcase kitchen that will support the growth of Greenside and the wider Morrisons manufacturing division – Myton Food Group.

Morrisons is a foodmaker as well as a shopkeeper preparing and making more than half of the fresh food sold in its stores.

The Greenside site is the UK’s largest fresh food factory producing bacon, quiches, pies, sausages, gammon, cooked meats and packed cheese. 

Rami Baitiéh, Chief Executive Officer of Morrisons, said: “We’re pleased to officially open our Greenside Innovation Centre here in the city of Bradford.

“At Morrisons, we are proud food makers and we are always exploring ways in which we can showcase our expertise and develop new and exciting opportunities to take our products to a wider market.

“This new facility gives our fantastic team of chefs a space to create the high-quality, British products our customers want, using ingredients from our trusted farmers and growers.”
