Shaun Sookoo recently had the honour of hosting Andy Street, the Mayor of West Midlands, at the Food Division manufacturing facility. This visit underscored not only the significant growth of the business but also its substantial social impact within the community.

During the visit, Mayor Street and Sookoo engaged in meaningful discussions focusing on Food Division’s ambitious growth plans and the tangible benefits it brings to the local area, particularly through job creation. “It’s been fantastic to receive such recognition from Mayor Andy Street,” said Shaun Sookoo. “The discussions reaffirmed our commitment to driving economic growth whilst making a positive social impact. Employing 85 local residents is a milestone we are incredibly proud of.”

Mayor Street was impressed with the strides Food Division has made and acknowledged the broader implications of its efforts across the West Midlands region. His visit highlighted the synergy between business growth and community development, a core principle of Food Division and it’s parent company, Viomar Holdings.

With continued expansion, Shaun Sookoo’s focus remains on creating opportunities and fostering a strong community spirit. The visit from Mayor Street has further motivated these core objectives, knowing that the efforts to date are valued and supported at the highest levels.

For Shaun, this recognition from a prominent local leader reaffirms the importance of blending business success with community engagement. It drives his mission to not only grow Food Division but also to make a meaningful difference to the lives of those in the community.
