Nick Clark, Director of MD Nationwide, said: “We are really pleased to be among the first packagers to receive our minded-to-approve letter. It is a recognition of the heavy investment that we have made in compliance since the announcement of pending FSA regulation.”
Last month, together with subsidiary packager Bananas Inc, MD Nationwide moved into additional premises alongside its existing base at Fareham, Hampshire. The increase in office space to 900 sq m coincides with more employees being taken on by both operations.
MD Nationwide and Bananas Inc collectively now have a staff of just over 100, 46 more than at the beginning of the year. Both MD Nationwide and Bananas Inc are members of the packagers’ alliance RAMP.
