The National Centre for Food Manufacturing has a strong track record of working with the food industry sector in the development and delivery of training courses and the provision of food business support services. They are committed to helping the sector innovate and work with employers and partners towards this goal, aided by partnerships with leading equipment suppliers and our outstanding specialist facilities, food factory, and cutting-edge automation.
