1431 viewsFast growing egg producer and packer L J Fairburn & Son is continuing to press ahead with huge investment, expansion and modernisation.
Nearly 130,000 free range birds have been added to the company’s own production this year, another 32,000-bird unit is currently under construction, older sheds are being systematically replaced or upgraded in a continually rolling programme, rearing numbers have been expanded, as have feed milling facilities, money has gone into expanding throughput at the firm’s two packing centres and Fairburn’s has continued to win new contracts – adding to a growing list of major retailers who receive their eggs from the Lincolnshire-based firm. The latest one is Costco, the US membership warehouse giant that has established a big presence in the UK.
