The facility will operate alongside Tiffin’s existing production facilities in Bradford and Chester and is set to create 400 new job opportunities once up and running.

The project is expected to cost up to £10m, including £2.5m for the purchase of the land.

Tiffin expects the site to open this winter, although it could take up to 18 months for it to become fully operational.

Currently employing 600 people, Tiffin supplies its range of packaged sandwiches, wraps, ciabattas and paninis to schools, colleges, universities, hotels, libraries and private businesses throughout the UK.

Commenting on the plans, Tiffin operations manager Luke Tetley said: “We are very excited by the opportunity to build a brand-new bespoke factory at our Bradford site.

“As a Bradford based company, we are proud of our roots and hope to continue having a positive impact on the Bradford economy.”

The site is located alongside its other Bradford facility on Commondale Way. Tiffin’s planning application explained that the firm was seeking permission in order to expand operations as a result of outgrowing its existing two sites.

“This proposal will bring the warehouse team and head office team closer together not only physically but to aid improved collaborative working, to ensure all employees feel like they are a part of the same team,”​ the application read.

“It will also provide the additional manufacturing, storage and packaging spaces required for the present and future proof of the business. The proposal will provide a positive economic and site benefits allowing a local company to function from one site.
