When father and son duo Charles and Colin Brook opened the UK’s first crinkle-cut crisps factory in a one-up-one-down terrace house in Bradford in 1950, they would have had no idea the scale of the operation to come.

Fast forward 74 years and today Seabrook Crisps, now owned by Japanese snack giant Calbee, is in the middle of a £12m factory extension at its 10-acre site on Duncombe Street in Bradford. The 25,000 sq ft building, which is due to open in September, will enable the company to produce an extra 100 tonnes of crisps a week on top of the 240 tonnes it already makes.

Meanwhile, plans are in the pipeline for a third phase of investment in Bradford, which would see an additional £3.5m invested in new machinery to increase capacity to 400 tonnes of crisps per week and create up to 15 new jobs. 'One of the issues we’ve had over the past five years is that we haven’t been able to keep pace with demand,” Mr Woodwards said.
