THE name might not be on the tip of your tongue but British Pepper and Spice has had a major influence in the taste of our food for three centuries. The Northampton-based business, the leading manufacturer of herbs and spices in the United Kingdom, can date its trading history back more than 300 years. This rich heritage has enabled it to grow and develop to ensure it meets the tastes, literally, of an ever-more demanding range of clients in both the retail and manufacturing sectors. The company specialises in the processing, packing and marketing of herbs, spices and seasonings. Chief Executive Ian James believes this willingness to share its knowledge, experience and expertise has enabled the business to be first choice for customers who appreciate quality. The rapidly changing world means the business has had to ensure it has systems in place to respond quickly to ever-changing needs with a service tailored to meet the needs of each customer. Ian said: “We place great emphasis on partnerships in businesses. Our customers include virtually all of the UK’s leading retail and wholesale distribution food companies as well as many of Europe’s major food manufacturers. “Customer service is a priority. We offer much more than simply recognising the importance of an efficient ordering and delivery service. We have a genuine desire to develop partnerships across areas as diverse as new product development, supply chain management and marketing initiatives.” This attention to detail and quality assurance has enabled the company to make the most of opportunities. British Pepper and Spice has a range of brand names familiar to those working in specific sectors. Wholesale customers and catering organisations, looked after by the food service division, can select a wide range of products including those from the Millstone, Eastern Star and Gordons brands. The development of innovative packaging and new products are another key part of the company’s success. Ian said: “We are very proud of our rich heritage but know that to thrive in such a competitive market we need to continue to review and evolve through listening and responding to clients.” The company, based at Rhosili Road on Northampton’s Brackmills Industrial Estate, can be contacted on 01604 766461 or see the website at www.britishpepper.co.uk
