West Yorkshire-based Airedale Group (www.airedale-group.co.uk), a specialist in the design and manufacture of commercial catering facilities, has made significant investments in new machinery and software at its 40,000ft² factory in Bradford during the past year, which has increased its production capacity by about 33%.
