Westland Horticulture’s bird food factory in Driffield, East Yorkshire, has been awarded its third consecutive A grade rating from the British Retail Consortium.

The Driffield facilities purchased by Westland earlier this year have been awarded this standard for the past three years.

The stringent requirements needed for BRC rating requires the Driffield site to adhere to 10 key requirements in relation to production, packaging, storage and distribution.  Retailers can be assured that all of the bird feed products produced from the site are the best quality for their consumers.

Westland products produced at the Driffield facility include the successful wild bird feed brands Nature’s Feast, Peckish and specialist bird brand Bucktons.

Rachael Dickinson, Marketing Manager for Bird Care at Westland said: “All of the Westland sites have achieved incredibly high standards in quality and at Driffield we have facilities which are second to none in both the products we produce and also the way we produce them. 

"The continued hard work and dedication of the staff at Driffield has certainly paid off and it is due to them that we have received this rating once again.”

Westland Horticulture purchased the Driffield site when they acquired Cranswick Pet Products in April. By making this purchase Westland has access to market leading knowledge, expertise, infrastructure and world leading manufacturing facilities within the wild bird care sector.
