Go Pizza is go-go-going for growth

Lancashire-based fresh, fast and good value food company Go Pizza, is set for growth and creating more than 20 new jobs, following a new finance arrangement with Santander Corporate Banking.

The business currently trades from four locations; Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, Liverpool Airport, Arndale Centre in Manchester and Meadowhall Shopping Centre in Sheffield. The business is currently finalising two new locations, in Liverpool and Manchester, which will each create around a dozen jobs.

Go Pizza focus on fresh ingredients and a fast service. They strive to source all their products as locally as possible, with fresh vegetables delivered each morning from farmers' markets in the area.

Customers choose from a base of either pizza or baguette and can then select toppings from cheese and tomato to Spanish chorizo and homemade Italian tomato sauce. Customers can even post their favourites on the Go Pizza facebook page.

James Hoole, Director of Go Pizza, said: "We are happy to be following our growth ambitions and finalising on our two new sites. At Go Pizza, we're passionate about serving good value, fast and fresh food to our customers and we're confident that we can do this on a bigger scale.

"We have been impressed with the service we have received from our new banking partner, Santander Corporate Banking. They've taken the time to really get to know our business and they have been very supportive of our growth plans. It's comforting to know, that as we move forward, we have support from Santander."

Ian Bateson, Relationship Director at Santander Corporate Banking, said: "I'm pleased we have been able to support the growth plans of Go Pizza. It is a strong business with a belief in sourcing local produce and supporting the local economy. I'm confident that they will continue to grow and I am pleased that Santander is supporting them."
