C&C to build Belfast facility

DRINKS and snack food group C&C is to beef up its presence in Northern Ireland by spending €3 million on a new distribution and warehousing facility in Belfast.

The new warehouse, on the Castlereagh Road, in the east of the city, will cover 35,000 square feet and have capacity to store 4 million bottles. Construction is scheduled for completion early next year.

“This investment is confirmation of the confidence C&C has in the strength of the company in Northern Ireland currently and for the future, and is a tremendous boost for all the people who are involved with the company,” said C&C Northern Ireland sales director Norman Trotter.
