Group finance director James Amery said: "The funding agreed with RBS allows us to implement our long-term strategy by investing in people and securing our position as one of Europe's most innovative, high-quality and dependable providers of pharmaceuticals and vitamin and mineral food supplements.

"It's an exciting time to be manufacturing in the Midlands and exporting British brands and goods, with the business looking to maximise the impact of our new world-class packing facility and expand with new international blue-chip customers."
