Beetroot & Orange has worked with a number of the Regional Food Groups, such as East Midlands Fine Foods, North West Fine Foods and Heart of England Fine Foods, supporting SME´s and new start-up´s in the food industry with both new product development training and one-on-one consultancy.
We can help small businesses identify funding to develop their product range, subject to eligibility. We also offer a special small business rate for food businesses which require help with any aspect of NPD, from market-gap analysis and recipe formulation through to implementing quality standards and improving profitability.
Some of our recent projects include:
1. Overseeing the transfer of production of Great Taste Award winning sauces from a small cottage producer to large co-producer under licence.
2. Market-gap analysis and range review for a new chilled soup business on the continent
3. Recipe development for a range of Caribbean ready meals to meet strict commercial targets
4. Sourcing eco-friendly packaging for a regional sandwich chain
5. Mentoring food businesses in a regeneration area of Nottingham to allow them to diversify their product range profitably
