Are you the owner of a food manufacturing business that needs to expand their factory facilities but doesn’t know where to start? You’re not alone!
The majority of SME food factory owners that are facing expansion tell us that:
- They’re busy managing the day-to-day business and lack the time and headspace to focus on a project
- They’re worried about the project becoming a major distraction
- Their lack of experience results in unforeseen pitfalls which often lead to time and budget overrun
These challenges are at the core of why we exist. Oakley take care of the entire expansion process; from initial scoping and design through to handover of your finished factory. Our turnkey approach means that, as the business owner, you can focus on what is most important, without the stress, distraction and risk of trying to manage the project yourself.

What does the construction phase of a turnkey project look like?
If you are confident in our turnkey approach and happy with the design, we can then proceed with the building and fitting out of your new food factory according to the detailed design. This enables you to completely step back from the project, allowing you to focus on running and growing your business, knowing it’s in safe hands.
The importance of aligning food certification requirements when planning and designing the build of a new factory facility
If you don’t think turnkey is the correct route for your upcoming expansion project, you will need to bear in mind who will take on the role of principal designer and contractor. This is an important factor as this will expose you to risk including ensuring your new factory facility is built to the requirements of necessary food certifications such as BRC and SALSA.
