Halal food firm is set for growth

A Preston business that specializes in the supply of ethnic frozen food is set for further growth after securing investment from one of the UK’s major suppliers of halal food products.

Shazans Foods, which employs 150 staff at its Walton Summit manufacturing base, has announced an equity investment and strategic supply partnership with Scotland-based One Stop Halal Ltd.

Shazans will now enter into the chilled market with a new range of products to be sold by independents and major supermarkets.

Nadeem Ayyub, managing director of Shazans, said: “This gives us a great partnership with the major raw material player in the market and allows each business to play to its key strengths. These are very exciting times for Muslim consumers in the UK, with the development of great tasting, new and innovative halal food.”

Shazans Foods began production 14 years ago with the humble samosa, but now makes a range of over 70 frozen products for leading independent retailers and major supermarkets. One Stop Halal Ltd supplies halal meat to major retailers and food service sectors.
