Paramount is increasingly looking outwards for opportunities in new markets across the world and, in the last three years, has been laying the foundations for global growth. As the business has grown, the product range has also increased – as well as seafood and vegetarian the range also now includes vegan and gluten-free products, paving the way for expansion in Australia, Asia, Europe and potentially the US and Canada. Meeting rising demand, whilst continuing to ensure continuity of service and quality for all customers in the UK foodservice market is a priority for Paramount.
The business remains loyal to its founding values of quality, service and innovation and a key part of this has been continued investment in its production capability. In the last year alone Paramount has invested over £500,000 in new machinery to increase capacity: key investments include extra freezing capacity along with extra ambient, chilled and frozen storage space and modern weighing and bagging equipment. Next year shows no signs of this investment slowing with further plans already committed for extra capacity on its frying line to facilitate greater production coupled with improved product quality and further investment in production capability in order to support new and exciting product launches into the global market.
