A Lancashire-based supplier of specialist cooking equipment is set to post a turnover of more than £1.2m at the end of the financial year, as its international reputation gains momentum.
The company supplies sous vide and vacuum packing equipment to home foodies and professional chefs and restaurants across the UK and Europe.
Alex said: “My line of work meant that I was introduced to an Italian company called Foodtek. They were looking for a UK distributor of their sous vide products and approached me with some samples. I was so impressed by the products that I decided to take the plunge and I resigned from my job to set up SousVideTools.com.
SousVideTools.com has received business growth advice and financial support from accountants and business advisers Moore and Smalley, also based in Lancashire.
“It has also played an important role in helping us to build our reputation internationally. We had very little knowledge of the market outside of the UK and the advice and support Moore and Smalley provided has been invaluable.”
“SousVideTools.com has a strong and loyal online customer base which has placed the company in excellent stead to extend its growth overseas. I’m confident it will continue to see impressive financial results and will thrive in international markets.” As well as the Gordon Ramsay Estate, SousVideTools.com’s clients include Michelin starred restaurants L’Enclume in Cumbria and Northcote Manor in Blackburn, along with the Lake District’s Gilpin Lodge and Manchester House, Manchester.
