Cranswick hits £2b sales as Hull food giant grows again

Hull’s biggest company, Cranswick Plc, has become a £2 billion turnover business.

Sales have surpassed the huge milestone for the meat giant, founded almost half a century ago by East Yorkshire farmers.

Now a FTSE-listed darling of the British food industry, revenues were up 5.8 per cent on the year to March 26, taking it from £1.898 billion to £2.008 billion.
