Crust And Crumb Increases Turnover By £500,000
Crust and Crumb based in Derrylin has grown its workforce by five and turnover by £500,000 following product development undertaken with help from Invest Northern Ireland’s Innovation Vouchers.
Announcing the October call for applications, Jeremy Fitch, Invest NI's Executive Director of Business Solutions, said: "Our Innovation Voucher scheme is open to small and medium sized businesses with an innovative project that would benefit from the input and expertise from a University, College or other publicly funded research organisation. This could involve a new product, process, technique or using research and scientific know how to help them grow sales."
Crust and Crumb used an Innovation Voucher to access the expertise of technologists at The Food Technology Centre, St Angela’s College in Sligo to develop a range of award winning stuffing. The business now produces stuffing for chicken products supplied to customers such as Tesco, Dunnes and Lidl.
The company manufactures fresh pizzas for the retail sector and part baked frozen pizza bases for the food service industry.
