DESPITE the ongoing economic doom and gloom business is booming at one of Malvern’s best-known firms.

Planit Products Ltd, best known for its hugely popular Toastabags, is set to move from its base in Sandys Road to new, bigger premises nearby in Sparrowhawk Close.

The company, which is known by millions following an appearance on BBC TV show Dragons Den, will be making the move over the next couple of months.

Office manager Wendy Annette said the move would have several benefits for the business.

“At the moment we are working out of two sites, and the logistics of that has been a bit of a nightmare,” she said. “As business has increased and increased we’ve needed more warehouse and packing space.”

She said the move also gave the company scope to increase its output.

“It’s not certain but there is a possibility we may take on new staff,” she added.
