Frozen food distributor Central Foods has launched tasty new, gluten-free and vegan Asian-style prawns for the food service sector. The Menuserve gluten-free, vegan Asian prawn snack selection is suitable for plant-based diners, yet so tasty that it will appeal to all. Being gluten free means it’s also ideal for coeliac diners and those avoiding gluten, too. The new product has been launched just in time for caterers who are starting to plan their festive menus, as it’s ideal for parties, buffets, event catering and many other menu options. Gordon Lauder, MD of Central Foods, said: “Our Menuserve range is well-regarded in the food service sector, and we are delighted to be extending the range with an exciting new product which has an Asian twist." “This is the time of year when Christmas menu planning starts, and food service professionals are looking for great-tasting – and different - options which are easy to prepare and simple to serve." “We know that some venues are going completely plant-based for some events or certain courses, so this new menu item, alongside other vegan products that we supply, would work perfectly in a range of different scenarios from parties and platters to buffets and tapas.” The Menuserve gluten-free, vegan Asian prawn snack selection features three different varieties of snack – the torpedo, which is a filo-wrapped vegan prawn, the breaded, which is a crumbed vegan prawn, and the bubble, which is a battered vegan prawn. These Chinese restaurant-style products can be served as starters, on sharing platters, in tapas-style dishes, as part of a buffet or as street-food options. These tasty finger foods just happen to be gluten-free, as well as vegan, so they are ideal for customers with dietary requirements. The Asian vegan prawn selection is available in cases of 48, featuring 16 of each variety, and simply needs heating before serving. Central Foods, based at Collingtree near Northampton, is one of the UK’s leading frozen food distributors. The company was founded more than 25 years ago and is a catering partner across the whole food service sector, supplying to hotels, restaurants, bars, universities, schools, pubs, care homes, garden centres, leisure outlets and more. It currently sells to over 180 independent wholesalers, as well as larger national and regional wholesalers. For more information about Central Foods visit www.centralfoods.co.uk

Perfect for summer, Biddenden Cider has launched three new flavours in their popular Biddies sparkling cider range. Continuing family cider making traditions, spanning three generations, Biddenden has combined their famous Barnes family recipe, honed and perfected over 40 years, with modern tastes and techniques to develop three new, fruity ciders. With a lower ABV of 4%, this new range of refreshing, fruity ciders includes Biddies Berries, Biddies Elderpear and Biddies Spartaruss. Biddenden is all about their traditional strong, still 8.4% cider but this new range is keeping up with new trends and opening the Biddenden range up to a wider audience. Showcasing the best of real fruits, Biddies Berries is a medium 4% cider made from Kentish apples, blended with blackberries from a local farm and elderberries harvested from the hedgerows at Biddenden. A flavour packed summer cider with a clean fruit flavour and the perfect amount of sparkle. Made from real fruits, not from concentrate. Biddies Elderpear is a medium 4% cider made from Kentish apples, blended with Kentish pears and infused with elderflower picked at Biddenden. Our traditional cider is the headline act and pears and elderflower add to the party to make this refreshing and fruity addition to the Biddies range. Biddies Spartaruss is a medium sweet, wine style 4% cider made from Spartan and Russet apples, matured for 9 months in tank with American Oak Staves to enhance and develop the flavours. A play on words and your taste buds, Spartaruss is a fun, fruity sparkling cider with strong apple flavours, capturing the sweetness of Spartan and delicate nuttiness of Russet. Cider Made By Winemakers! In 1980 Julian Barnes was working some evenings at The Smarden Bell Pub. Business at the vineyard was steady and Julian thought he’d like to have a go at making some cider, as apples were still grown on the farm- adding value is something that runs through the family generations at Biddenden. Ian the landlord agreed to trial a barrel, and if it sold it could stay. Challenge accepted! The cider proved to be extremely popular and the rest is history- Biddenden cider was born! From the Strong Kentish range of Dry, Medium and Sweet 8.4% still ciders to bottle fermented Sparkling Cider and Biddenden Ice Cider, made using the cryoconcentration process, Biddenden have a full and diverse range ready to explore and something for everybody to enjoy. Third generation, Tom Barnes, is now leading production and following in Julian’s footsteps. Tom says: “Biddenden’s focus is still very much on our core range, the still 8.4% that we are best known for." "Whilst sticking to tradition is our focus, there is huge demand for lower abv cider alongside flavours, which is a completely different market than we are in now. Whilst we might be late to the party with flavours, I felt it had to be right, real fruit, no concentrate and this takes time. I believe each of the three new ciders certainly express those flavours whilst holding strong to our core values." "There are plenty of flavoured ciders on the market but are there many that taste like real fruit? Maybe it’s time to find out.” These new flavours join Biddenden’s popular core Biddies range of Biddies 5, Biddies 8 and Biddies Red Love. The full range, including a mixed case of all 6 varieties, can be purchased from Biddenden Vineyards’ website and from their onsite Vineyard Shop.

More than 60 families of sick and terminally-ill children will be given respite breaks in South Ayrshire after a donation of more than £20,000 from a leading Glasgow family firm. Sunshine Wishes Children’s Charity, which is based in Bishopbriggs, was established seven years ago by Linda Ford, who has spent most of her working life in the charity sector. It was forced to extend its work during the Covid-19 pandemic – and more recent economic crises – from making dreams come true for sick and disadvantaged youngsters to more generally helping families across Scotland. The charity has a caravan at Craig Tara Holiday Park, where families can go for short respite breaks and approached Allied Vehicles Charitable Trust for support with the facility. AVCT is giving them a total of £23,100 over the next three months to fully finance the caravan for an entire season, which will enable more than 60 families of sick and terminally-ill children to have short breaks there, including food and activity passes. “What wonderful news, thank you,” said Linda on being told about the AVCT donation. “There’s always the worry that the funds don’t come in to pay for the caravan – that’s the biggest thing, the peace of mind. And obviously, the more children who get down there, the better. Those who have been to the caravan, their feedback has been absolutely amazing and heart-warming. Honestly, this is just absolutely fantastic news.” Linda says she initially set up her charity to grant wishes to sick and terminally-ill children and underprivileged families but had to prioritise where support was most needed during the pandemic, which massively increased their workload. The need for their support has increased weekly since 2020 and they work closely with many organisations – more than a dozen nurseries, including five where they have set up food pantries, local health visitors, social workers and other community partners. Their caravan at Craig Tara was hugely successful in its first season and they have been inundated with requests, resulting in the creation of a waiting list. Linda says: “A family trip includes food for the duration of their stay, free activity passes, a privilege card which allows 15% off all shops on site and 50% off paid activities." “The families can enjoy a holiday they would otherwise not experience with no financial burden. There are over 60 families use the caravan per season. Some go for three nights, some for four." “We’ve got one just now away for a week, so it just depends on the families themselves because most of them are underprivileged and they’re struggling on a day-to-day basis, but we do supply food for the duration of their stay." “While the addition of our caravan brings more work, most importantly it brings greater enjoyment seeing the children’s faces and listening to the heart-warming feedback from the parents.” Allied owner Gerry Facenna said the charity’s work and commitment were impressive: “Sunshine Wishes may have started off making dreams come true for children and families, but the way they’ve adapted to new demands is a testament to the commitment of Linda and her team." “We had no hesitation in giving them more than our monthly charity budget, to pay for the caravan and I hope the families who go down to Craig Tara enjoy their time in South Ayrshire.”

Willmott Dixon has been confirmed as the main contractor to deliver the next phase of Nottingham City Council’s Broad Marsh Green Heart regeneration scheme. Procured through the SCAPE Construction framework, Willmott Dixon is already on-site building a new public space outside Nottingham's Central Library. Work will commence on the remainder of the Green Heart this Autumn, a key element of the vision for Nottingham’s 20-acre Broad Marsh area. It will see the site transformed from the previous large shopping centre, which was demolished by Willmott Dixon, working closely alongside multi-disciplinary consultancy Pick Everard, in 2022. Nick Heath, director at Willmott Dixon, said: “Nottingham’s Broad Marsh Green Heart vision is a regeneration project with valuable green space at its core. Green space is important for the beating heart of all urban environments, and brings major benefits too, according to the World Economic Forum’s ‘BiodiverCities by 2030’ report which looked at the importance of changing the relationship between nature and our towns and cities. Public realm space like this is also one of the key ingredients of Willmott Dixon’s blueprint for urban growth" “Having been responsible for the original shopping centre demolition in 2021-2022 and sharing insight on this complicated, historic site with interested parties throughout the process, we’re excited to be maintaining a role in the transformation and using our skills to deliver the next phase." “As a local business with a strong Nottingham presence, we’re looking forward to seeing an important area of the city re-emerge and provide benefits for people that live and work here – creating a new legacy to be proud of.” The Green Heart introduces green, ecologically rich areas and diverse natural spaces providing habitats and food for wildlife, forming a green infrastructure network linking the Broad Marsh area from Nottingham Castle through to the 36-acre Island Quarter regeneration site and beyond. A key aim is to put the ‘marsh’ back into the Broad Marsh, introducing new urban wetlands on land that was once a marshland ecosystem to capture, slow and filter rainwater, potentially preventing flooding and creating pockets of biodiversity. A long bench will arc through the planting and marsh allowing people to sit, enjoy and experience nature. Leader of Nottingham City Council, Councillor David Mellen, said: “More green space was by far the most popular response when we asked people what they would like to see happen around Broad Marsh as part of the huge Big Conversation engagement exercise the council ran a couple of years ago." “Anyone who has visited the area recently will see how much it has changed with lots of greenery, pedestrianised areas and seating. The creation of the Green Heart will take the transformation of Broad Marsh a major step further and be a beautiful addition to the city centre which is unique to Nottingham. I’m particularly pleased that Collin Street will be a family-friendly space that people can enjoy right outside the new Central Library.” The regeneration scheme is being accelerated by SCAPE Construction, a direct award framework designed to drive collaboration, efficiency, time and cost savings on construction projects. Mark Robinson, Group Chief Executive at SCAPE, said: “It is fantastic to be supporting the next phase of this iconic regeneration scheme, with a nature-first design that will encourage rewilding and improve biodiversity." “With a laser focus on sustainability, the Green Heart will create a vibrant, unique space that reflects the changing needs of society for urban, city centre locations. Providing accessible green space is not only essential for supporting the health and wellbeing of Nottingham’s residents and visitors but it also plays a key role in helping Nottingham City Council achieve their target of becoming net zero by 2028.” The design of the Green Heart is unique to Nottingham and has been developed by Townshend Landscape Architects along with Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust with Ares supporting the contractor on the landscape design for the scheme.

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has teamed up with global environmental charity Project Seagrass on a project to raise awareness of the ocean’s seagrass habitats. Scientists from the organisation will join a cruise on board Bolette to the Isles of Scotland and the Faroes in August. The experts will spend time both on deck and shoreside to help guests learn more about the importance of seagrass and how it plays a crucial role for wildlife, communities and climate stability. Tim Spicer, On Board Journey Planning Manager at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said: “We know that our guests love to gain a deeper understanding of the destinations we visit on our cruises, so we are thrilled to be teaming up with Project Seagrass." “Our new Earth Room on board Bolette has been designed to inspire and ignite a passion for guests to find out more about the world we live in and how we can lessen our impact on the environment." “Project Seagrass will be presenting on current restoration techniques and sharing ways that we can all make small changes in our lives to positively impact climate change.” The work with Project Seagrass ties in with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ Signature Experience, Itinerary Insights, which celebrates how guest speakers are chosen to give like-minded travellers a deeper understanding of a particular subject. Project Seagrass’ Associate Scientist, Anouska Mendzil, will spend time both on deck and shoreside with a variety of events. These include an audience with session, daily forums in the Earth Room, hosted lunch forums, a hosted showcase of two conservation films and a hosted shoreside experience in Kirkwall. In addition, the team will take part in deck watching in conservation-related areas, have one-on-one meetings with guests and use research material and papers to host book club style discussions. Set up in 2013, Project Seagrass is the only global environment charity solely dedicated to the conservation of seagrass ecosystems to ensure they are protected now and for future generations. Louise Swindell, Fundraising and Relationship Manager at Project Seagrass, said: “The entire Project Seagrass team are delighted to be working with Fred. Olsen Cruise lines to raise awareness of the importance of seagrass." “Working together to save the world’s seagrass, addressing both the climate and biodiversity crisis is essential for both people and planet.”

“When we launched these cups made from bamboo fibre, I was proud to say they are our most sustainable hot drink cups yet. Now we have certification to prove they are 100% recyclable, the statement is even more true!” In May, Celebration Packaging introduced a new range of double-wall hot drink cups made from sustainable bamboo fibre, under its long-established EnviroWare® brand. The company is delighted to announce that these cups have now received a Grade A rating for recyclability. “When we launched these cups made from bamboo fibre just two months ago, I was proud to say that they are our most sustainable hot drink cups yet,” says Celebration Packaging Managing Director Nick Burton. “Now we have certification to prove they are 100% recyclable, the statement is even more true!" “When we created the EnviroWare® brand, over 16 years ago, our declared mission was to seek out more sustainable packaging solutions. We have always believed that when sourcing sustainable packaging, the provenance of the raw materials is paramount – but ensuring it can be properly disposed of at its end-of-life is equally important.” Celebration Packaging’s EnviroWare® bamboo fibre double-wall hot drink cups are made from FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) certified bamboo fibre – with a water-based lining – and are certified commercially compostable (DIN EN 13432:2000-12). Using the Papercycle Recyclability Assessment Method for fibre-based packaging products and materials, Papercycle Ltd has now issued Grade A certification that the cups are recyclable in standard paper mills. Papercycle was developed by the Confederation of Paper Industries, supported by the UK’s paper-based Industries, and offers a comprehensive recyclability assessment tool to help determine the recyclability of fibre-based products. From material provenance to end-of-life “Bamboo is one of the world’s fastest growing plants and can grow as quickly as two feet per day,” says Nick Burton. “Across the foodservice category, cafés and food-to-go outlets are seeking more sustainable solutions and with bans and taxes in place or on their way, consumers are turning away from single-use plastic products. We therefore believe that demand for sustainable EnviroWare® products, such as our fully recyclable bamboo fibre cups, will continue to grow. “Our new bamboo cups feel great to the touch and the bamboo design is sure to get consumers thinking about the product’s environmental credentials,” says Nick Burton. “Alongside the bamboo motif, the design states that the cups are made from sustainable resources and can be composted where facilities exist. It also features both the ‘Commercially Compostable’ and FSC® logos – and while the existing stock is certified recyclable, the design is currently being updated, and the cups will soon also bear the instantly recognisable ‘recycle’ logo.” The new range of recyclable, insulated, double-wall cups are available in popular 8oz, 12oz and 16oz sizes, and accessories are also available, including: compostable domed lids, to fit all cup sizes, made from moulded fibre (bagasse) or CPLA; kraft coffee sleeves; and wooden drink stirrers. “If foodservice operators are looking to improve their sustainability credentials, they need to work with a consultative supplier to ensure that they're choosing the right packaging – that is functional, fit for purpose, popular with consumers and above all, sustainable,” concludes Nick Burton.

Renowned fit-out and refurbishment contractor Pexhurst has fully refurbished the net zero carbon in construction DC4 unit at the West Midlands’ Prologis Park Ryton, achieving an EPC A22 rating and ensuring that 166,820sq. ft. of industrial space is fully renovated and ready to let. DC4 is located on the highly sought-after Prologis Park Ryton, just minutes from the M6 and offering easy access to the UK’s key rail and air freight terminals. Pexhurst was selected by client Prologis UK to fully refurbish the industrial unit, working alongside Project Managers and Employers Agent, CORE CBS Ltd. Tom Price, Director of Capital Deployment & Leasing at Prologis UK, commented: “This is an incredible and rare opportunity to join a successful and thriving park. There are plenty of amenities nearby for employees, making it a great place to work.” DC4 entailed an extensive refurbishment, considering the vast area to cover and the level of detail required. Pexhurst completed a general strip-out of all the previous tenant’s fixtures and fittings, returning the unit back to the base build. Pexhurst installed new Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Heating (MEPH) equipment throughout the development, and new external underground ductwork for Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers, installing five EV chargers and enabling works for an additional 18. As part of the sustainability focus of this development, Pexhurst installed six solar photovoltaic (PV) panels to heat the building’s hot water supply. Pexhurst also serviced the existing siphonic drainage system. More efficient in comparison to traditional roof drainage apparatus, siphonic drainage will allow the client to drain greater volumes of water at longer distances with fewer downpipes. The system is also environmentally friendly, enabling rainwater harvesting for efficient water usage. Pexhurst completed specialist cleaning of the roof, cladding, warehouse liner sheets, and the roof soffit. Additionally, the team prepared and polished the warehouse floor slab for its new occupants. The team repainted the warehouse steelwork, including intumescent paint to Gridline N as a passive fire protection measure. Fire barriers were also fitted in all offices, alongside the installation of new suspended ceilings. Furthermore, new incoming tenants will benefit from the full refurbishment and decoration of the offices. In addition to new ceilings, the floors were completely replaced with raised access flooring, with the addition of vinyl and carpet flooring. In terms of joinery works, Pexhurst fitted new hardwood doors, door frames, windowsills, and skirtings. All office WC areas including accessible WCs and shower rooms were fully refurbished to a high standard, including tiling works. Pexhurst installed completely new mechanical and plumbing installation including VRV (Variable Refrigerant Volume) air conditioning and ventilation. As well as this, the warehouse WCs and Driver’s Reception area were fully refurbished. Thanks to Pexhurst’s expertise, and a well-defined specification for the unit from CORE CBS Ltd, DC4 Ryton is now fit for the future and in line with a contemporary design standard. DC4 will provide occupiers with an excellent distribution space refurbished to the highest standard.

Almost 100,000 rural microbusiness have been started in the past 12 months, with female entrepreneurs at the heart of the booming countryside economy according to latest research. Key Findings: Nearly 100,000 rural microbusinesses have been started in the past 12 months Women are leading the trend and account for more than 43% of rural entrepreneurs Data from Venture Forward, an annual international research initiative by GoDaddy that analyses data from more than British 2.3 million microbusinesses, shows that 25.9% of Britain’s microbusinesses are based rurally, up from 24.1% in 2022. This equates to 94,464 new start-ups over the past 12 months, suggesting that Britain’s countryside has become a hotbed for entrepreneurial talent. GoDaddy’s figures also show that this trend is being driven predominantly by women. In 2022, 33.1% of rural entrepreneurs were female, which has jumped to 43.6% in 2023. Comparatively, 35% of urban microbusiness owners are women. With three quarters (75%) of these businesses also employing at least one other person, they potentially can support almost 2.5 million jobs. Venture Forward data shows that rural entrepreneurs are also older than their city-based counterparts. A quarter (26%) of urban microbusiness owners are over 50, which jumps to two fifths (39%) for those running rural businesses. Retail and consumer businesses are at the forefront of the countryside economy, accounting for 14% of ventures. Entertainment and the arts is another major sector, accounting for 10%, with IT and technology (8%), professional and business services (7%) and education (6%) among other popular industries. Reducing barriers to entry, facilitated by the increase in online tools and services, could also be playing a major role in the thriving countryside economy. Two in five (43%) of rural businesses were started for less than £1,000, with a further fifth (21%) of entrepreneurs requiring less than £5,000 of capital to start trading. Despite the encouraging growth of rural microbusinesses over the past 12 months, they are not immune to the cost-of-living pressures faced by many others. More than three quarters (77%) have seen their energy bills increase over the past year, with transport (44%), raw materials (43%), production (24%) and staff (17%) among other fixed costs that have risen. In spite of rising costs, the vast majority (80%) of rural entrepreneurs expect to grow in 2023, with just 9% predicting a fall in turnover. The South of England dominates Britain’s countryside economy, with the South East and South West accounting for 24% and 15.8% of businesses respectively. The East of England is third with 9.3% followed by the West Midlands (8%), North West England (7.9%), Yorkshire and the Humber (6.8%) and Scotland (6.7%). Andrew Gradon, Head of GoDaddy UK & Ireland, said: “This data demonstrates a sizeable shift we are seeing in Britain’s microbusiness community. While in the past commerce and enterprise was associated with major urban hubs, advancements in technology and online tools mean businesses can be easily started from anywhere." “Venture Forward suggests that the countryside economy is in good health, generating billions for the economy and supporting millions of jobs." "However, the cost-of-living crisis is an ongoing concern and rural businesses have been hit by rising costs just like their urban counterparts have. As a company committed to helping everyday entrepreneurs thrive, GoDaddy is determined to support small business owners in rural areas.“
