Prima Cheese expands into London amid ambitions to grow overseas trade

Food firm Prima Cheese has expanded into London with a new office and retail space amid efforts to boost international trade.

The County Durham dairy specialist, which specialises in shredded cheese for pizza toppings, has opened new premises in north London via its property company Prima Projects. 'Prima South' is located on Islington's Holloway Road in The Billiard Factory property which is home to a number of creative businesses and adjacent to the National Youth Theatre.

It says the move is part of plans for growth in 2024, including pursuing more overseas trade opportunity. Prima already exports to 50 countries and in 2023 generated turnover of more than £18.7m outside of the UK.
