MOODY AND GREENCORE GROCERY

Over the past 10 years, Moody Systems has helped leading manufacturer Greencore
Grocery keeps its production lines rolling, producing around 150 million jars per annum
across 1,400 different product lines.

Greencore Grocery is one of the leading manufacturers of bottled- recipe products, producing a wide range of both branded and customer own-brand sauces, pickles, dressings, condiments and soft drinks.

Operating from a 23-acre site at Selby near York, the company employs over
600 people. Over the past 10 years, considerable investment has been made
and the site now boasts some of the most modern, hygienic and efficient production facilities in the UK.

During those 10 years, Moody Systems has worked on a range of projects –
from relatively small hot water systems, to the design, build and installation
of massive stainless steel tubular heating systems.

Moody Systems managing director Adam Archer says "Over the past decade we have developed a close working relationship which enables us to respond quickly to Greencore's requests for support, as well as provide technically superior solutions to their requirements for developing processing systems which deliver
the level of service they and their market-leading customers world wide demand."

Major projects have generally involved the replacement of autoclaves with tubular heaters. But in addition, when the site was flooded during the winter of 2000,
Moody were responsible for dismantling the majority of the plant and equipment
in the production areas, transporting it to the Retford workshop, decontaminating and repairing it, and then re-assembling and re-commissioning it on site.

"This was all done over the Christmas and New Year period and took around three weeks," recalls Adam. Commenting on the relationship with Moody Systems, Ian Parry of Greencore Grocery said "Greencore Selby has had a long term relationship with Moody which has successfully developed the site to what it is today. We have some new exciting joint projects being developed which I am confident will strengthen our successes."

The site has achieved the prestigious AIB accreditation being placed in the
'superior' category. Other notable successes include being recognised as a
Tesco Blue Site and achieving BRC Grade A. Soil Association accreditation has
also been granted, which allows for the production of Organic lines on site.

Greencore Grocery produces around 150 million jars per annum across
1,400 different product lines, spanning seven distinct categories. The company supplies every major UK retailer and has a thriving export trade, supplying to
over 21 countries overseas.
