SILVER CELEBRATIONS

One of the largest and most advanced food factories in Europe has recently celebrated its 25^th anniversary.

Rogerstone Park, on Azalea Road, was specifically designed for RF Brookes producing chilled recipe meals and opened in August 1999, marking the beginning of a new era in manufacturing at the site.

The technology within the factory enables production of restaurant quality food for the consumer market. RF Brookes’ 1,700 colleagues produce chilled ready meals such as Indian and Oriental, Italian, traditional British, nutritionally controlled and kids’ ranges.

Rogerstone colleagues have been celebrating 25 years of operation, recognising this significant milestone with their dedicated team, many of whom fondly remember the opening of the site and the transition from the Wern, the original home of RF Brookes which began trading in 1982.

Memories and stories have been shared over a delicious piece of cake.  

Steve Johnson, Site Director, said: “This anniversary is a testament to the hard work, passion, and resilience of our people, and the support of our community.

“As we reflect on our achievements, we look forward to building on this legacy for an even brighter future.”
