Business leaders visit Cumbria Chamber Patron Leo Group in Penrith
On 25 April, we hosted the first Cumbria Chamber’s Power 40 event of this year at our Omega Proteins Site in Penrith. Power 40 Group Cumbria Chamber’s Power 40 group comprises business leaders from 40 of the county’s most influential businesses and it was truly a pleasure for us to offer our fellow Chamber members a look-behind-the-scenes of our Category 3 animal by-product rendering operation and to discuss the ongoing investments and improvements happening on-site. Omega Proteins in Penrith Our Omega Proteins is a Category 3 animal by-product processing plant and renders parts of animals that have been passed fit for human consumption in a slaughterhouse but have no market for consumption in the UK. We process this material into oils and meals which are used in everyday products including SAF (sustainable aviation fuel), biofuels, pet food, aquaculture, oleochemicals and pharmaceuticals. https://leogroupltd.co.uk/about-us/ Sustainability and the environment Following a presentation from Leo Group owner
