Noble Foods' flagship brand is the well-known and most popular Happy Egg.

Specialist contractor Clegg Food Projects will construct the plant and Clegg’s business development director, John Moxon, has said: “This is a large-scale specialist project and our skills and vast experience of delivering schemes of this size mean we are ideally placed to meet the requirements of this contract.” Caunton have a long history of working with Clegg Food Products – see Caunton web site news – for Greggs(21.07.11), for Adams Butter(19.04.11), and for Buxted Chicken(19.03.10)
