Mike Heaney, factory general manager at United Biscuits, said at the time: “Resuming factory production is a priority for us and our teams are well on track with this as our Gold Bar production has started. However we also recognise the importance of community at a time like this. Many of our employees have taken the time to support those most affected by the floods and keep spirits high, providing local rescue centres with supplies and carrying out local door-to-door biscuit drops.
