Inspired Pet Nutrition: Yorkshire-based pet food firm invests over £30m in factories

The company, which owns brands including Harringtons and Wagg, said it is “embracing the latest technologies and state-of-the-art equipment” as it invests to ensure its portfolio of brands and products are “consistently offering the highest possible quality, taste, and healthy nutrition.”

Chief operating officer, Anthony Stones, said: “This valuable investment represents Inspired Pet Nutrition’s core values in providing accessible, affordable nutrition.

“We’ve been developing our recipes and portfolio of brands for a century now and are constantly looking for ways to improve our offering for pet parents.

"By investing in our technical capabilities and upstreaming our supply chain, we have better control over the quality of our recipes and greater traceability of our ingredients.

“Alongside this, we’re increasing the size of our technical team and will have a new laboratory. We’re also investing in real-time testing equipment – and all this means that there’s continuous improvements both to our products and manufacturing processes.”
