When developing their plans for a new flagship production facility in Pontefract, Haribo UK contacted the Rolton Group directly on the strength of a recommendation offered by one of our long-term manufacturing partners, who could attest to the exceptional quality of our services.
We were subsequently appointed to provide project management, clerk of works, and employer’s agent services in the development and construction of the new plant, which includes a 30,700m2 three-storey manufacturing unit and four-storey office facility.
Construction is now gathering speed, and the building is set to open for business in April 2015. To give some indication of the scale of the project, the facility will ultimately produce almost 50,000 tonnes of sweets per annum, providing Britain with a new and sizeable connection to the world-famous confectionary.

Working with Dorchester Living, Rolton has developed an ambitious new energy strategy that combines digital innovation, embedded renewable energy, and a clear trajectory towards net zero for their Heyford Park development in Oxfordshire.
This year Centreco, a UK leading commercial solar energy system design, installation and management organisation are exhibiting and sponsoring for the first time and have invited Rolton to partner in providing their thinking and content for two sessions focused on energy and technology, bringing thinking around this topic to the show.
IMPACT Magazine recently featured Rolton Chair, Peter Rolton and our white paper “Powering the 2035 Industrial and Data-Driven Revolution” which calls for the energy and real estate worlds to coalesce to attract the investment for infrastructure the UK needs.
