Herbs success sees business expand
Although still based in Dundee, year-on-year growth of 20% has seen Scotherbs move to larger premises, which gives the herb experts an additional 30% production space and consolidates its workforce which had previously been spread between two sites.
Md Fiona Lamotte (pictured with her father and company founder Robert Wilson) says: "In a growth industry such as herbs there is a constant need to adapt and find new ways of adding value. A few years ago, we began to get enquiries from food manufacturers looking for fresh herbs, washed and chopped to spec so that led to the development of our high-care, washed and chopped section. We invested a lot of time and money in developing a range of pestos, vinaigrette and salsa using our own herbs and other completely natural ingredients which are hand made on site."
