MYCO Holdings aims to transform a former food manufacturing plant in Leeming Bar into a vertically farmed production unit – the first site of its kind in the UK. MYCO is expecting that moving into the purpose-built 20,000sqft site will launch an exciting period of growth, amid an expected boom in sales of plant-based meat substitutes.
John Shepherd, co-founder and chairman of MYCO said “This is a great move for MYCO, and one we all believe will help the business unlock its extraordinary potential. This new site is a food industry first, and the concept of combining both the growing of the raw materials and the manufacturing of the finished product under one roof will pave the way for more sustainable food manufacturing practices in the future.”
