BOSSES from a Danish firm are heading for Blackburn this week to see one of their plants at first hand.
Managers from MD Foods, owned by 9,000 Danish farmers, are visiting the company's Blackburn fruit drink plant which is one of the firm's UK sites benefiting from a £55 million investment programme.
MD Foods in the UK is the country's third largest supplier of milk and a major supplier of dairy products including Lurpak. The Blackburn site produces fresh, long life and dilute-to-taste fruit drinks.
"This visit by the entire Danish board is a clear signal to our customers, suppliers and staff of the importance and expectations attached to our UK operations," said chairman Kim Nielsen.
