Yellow Door Creates 20 New Posts
Yellow Door has created 20 new jobs with the opening of the Yellow Door restaurant at Belfast Furniture Mall, located in south Belfast's Balmoral Plaza.
The investment marks the latest growth for this multi award-winning Northern Ireland brand, which is known as one of Northern Ireland's premier outside catering companies and also specialises in deli retail outlets and artisan breads.
"In addition to our retail deli outlets in Portadown, Lisburn and Belfast (Lisburn Road), we opened a restaurant at the Ulster Museum in 2012 and in the same year moved our bakery to new and larger bespoke premises at Bleary, near Portadown," said Yellow Door Director, Andrew Dougan.
"We deliver fresh bread daily to customers in Belfast and Dublin and recently won a contract with the potential to produce in excess of half a million bread items and tray bakes annually for a company supplying Dublin airport and hospitals."
Yellow Door is a family business, started up by County Armagh chef Simon Dougan in 1992. From a fine dining restaurant in Gilford, the Yellow Door brand has expanded into an ever growing group of companies employing close to 150 people in full and part time positions, with an expected annual turnover this year of £5million.
The 60,000 sq ft Belfast Furniture Mall was formerly home to Fulton's fine furnishings company, and with the acquisition of the former restaurant area, Yellow Door aims to introduce the latest trend to Belfast foodies – California-style dining, which focuses on sharing plates and family-style dining.
