Brook Foods

If you head over to Jamnadas Industrial Eastate and look for number 2, that’s where you’ll find Brook Foods. It’s an older industrial area, so the roads aren't the best, but it's where we do all our work. We deal with food products, so there’s always a lot of cleaning and organizing going on. The smell of whatever we’re processing that day usually hangs around the entrance. It’s a busy environment with people moving crates and checking labels. We don’t have a fancy showroom or anything like that. Our space is all about utility. We’ve got the stainless steel tables, the storage bins, and the packing area. It gets a bit hot in the summer, especially near the machinery, but we’ve got some big fans that help. Most of us have been working here for a while, so we know the routine. We aren't a massive corporation with a bunch of suits; we’re just people in aprons trying to get the batches out on time. Sometimes a machine breaks down and we have to spend the afternoon fixing it, which can be frustrating, but that’s part of the life. We take our work seriously, even if we don't use a lot of big words to describe it. It’s just about making sure the food is handled right and the orders go to the right trucks. We’ve been at it for years and plan to stay for a while. It's just simple food production for us.
