Other things we have done to help...

We removed the sleeves from the variety cases, saving over 100 tonnes of packaging per annum.

We’re proud to say that we have recently switched to a renewable electricity provider. We chose responsibly-sourced biomass electricity which produces 86% less carbon than coal-generated power and which will significantly reduce our carbon footprint.

All food waste is recycled and turned into electricity and the bio-fertiliser produced is used to fertilise the land.

20 million litres of water recycled per annum, equivalent to 8 Olympic size swimming pools.

Our new factory has allowed us to change from diesel forklifts to electric forklifts and we are continually optimising to improve performance reducing carbon emissions.

The new factory has LED lighting throughout.

Excess energy from our production process is used to heat the offices and staff facilities.

Our new location just off the A30 dual carriageway has substantially reduced HGV movement on small country roads, we estimate by over 75,000 miles!
