Bespoke mix development

From an early idea to an agreed product brief.

Bring us a starting ingredient, flavour direction, existing product reference or mix concept. We can help shape a practical development route that considers raw-material sourcing, roasting or preparation, seasoning, blending, bulk supply and contract packing together.

Every project is reviewed for technical and commercial suitability before samples, specifications and production plans are agreed.

We review project fit, process requirements, sourcing, material intake, packing and the route to an agreed specification.

03

Agree the product

We align any agreed samples, specifications and expectations before manufacture.

04

Plan production

We agree the production and supply plan with our Leicester team.

Contract packing

Packing support for your product and brand.

We offer contract packing as a standalone service or as part of a wider sourcing, roasting or bespoke-development project. This can support customer-owned and own-label or private-label products where the brief fits our capabilities. Tell us the product, pack format, expected volume and material-supply option so we can review the project.
