STAFF at the Moy Park factory in Wisbech are celebrating, after the chicken processing company won a prestigious award.

The company was declared Processor of the Year at the Meat and Poultry Processing Awards 2012 held in Birmingham, and organised by the Meat Trades Journal.

Moy Park Chief Executive Nigel Dunlop commented: “We are delighted to have won the top award of Processing Business of the Year. This success belongs to everyone in Moy Park and was achieved through hard work to deliver a continuous and sustainable improvement across a balanced business.

“The judges based their decision on several factors, including the growth and development of the business, our continued investment in factories and farms, a responsible approach to environmental responsibility, how we support our community through charity and educational initiatives, and finally our investment in employee health and well being.”
