When the processing of Pork on the site ceased around 1990, the area formerly occupied by McGrouthers and then Kirkpatricks and Harris of Scotland was turned into a Business Park.
This is an advertisement that appeared in the Stirling Observer. The text indicates that the Business Park was created following purchase of the “Former Bacon Factory” in 1990.
Industrial Estates (Scotland) Ltd. was a private Limited Company with share capital incorporated in 1973. At the time of the acquisition of the former Bacon Factory (1990) John Bernard Gavin is listed as a director and Stephen Michael Nettleton is recorded as Company Secretary but became a director in 1992. The company is now listed as “Dissolved”
