Our Power 40 group comprises business leaders from 40 of the county’s most influential businesses. The group met recently for a tour of animal by-product specialist, Leo Group’s Omega Proteins site in Penrith.
Acquired by Leo Group in 2002, Omega Proteins operates a Category 3 animal by-product processing plant. Category 3 material refers to parts of animals that have been passed fit for human consumption in a slaughterhouse but have no market for consumption in the UK.
