Winner: Rodda's
Rodda's takes a truly holistic approach to raising standards, both of its people and facilities. Despite the tough economic climate, the Cornish creamery has increased sales by 23%, improving its national distribution through both foodservice and retail outlets. Over the past five years it has invested large sums in upgrading its factory and processes to give it a more competitive edge.
The judges were very impressed by Rodda's process innovation and control. One said: "It is a very good example of product development and investment in frozen clotted cream."
