Partnering with McFeggan Brown and Orust Projects on Our Investment into Future Growth

Development

16th December 2024

We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of Phase 1 in our ambitious two-stage plan to enhance and expand our facilities in Clevedon. This project represents a significant step in ensuring Nactarome remains at the forefront of innovation. Initiated in 2022, this investment is designed to elevate our capabilities across all areas, including Administration, Technical, R&D, Operations, and Production.

Phase 1: Centralising R&D and Technical Departments

The first phase of our plan commenced with acquiring four additional units within our industrial estate at Millers Court. Over the past nine months, we have worked with McFeggan Brown and Chris Smith at Orust Projects to transform these spaces, merging four units to create a new centre of excellence.

This milestone development has centralised our R&D and technical departments, fostering greater collaboration and efficiency. We have expanded our laboratories to improve the working environment for our flavourists, invested in brand new applications equipment—enabling us to replicate customer processes better and deliver bespoke solutions, and designed interactive demonstration spaces and collaborative meeting rooms to encourage innovation.

Collaborating with McFeggan Brown and Orust Projects

Working with McFeggan Brown and Orust Projects has been instrumental in bringing our vision to life, combining creativity with technical expertise. Working with Chris on the initial designs was an excellent experience, as his consultative approach ensured every aspect of the project aligned with Nactarome’s business objectives. McFeggan Brown brought those designs to life, delivering a final build that exceeded our expectations. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality have given us confidence that our investment will provide lasting value for our team, customers, and stakeholders.

Phase 2: Expanding and Enhancing Facilities

With the first phase complete, we are now gearing up for the second stage of our plan, scheduled to begin in January 2025 and aimed for completion by August. This phase focuses on expanding our production facilities to meet growing demand and aligns with our commitment to operational excellence.

Key objectives include:

  • Doubling our production volume by increasing capacity.
  • Optimising workflows with an improved layout.
  • Upgrading equipment to enhance efficiency and Health & Safety.

2025 and Beyond

As we embark on Phase 2, we are confident that these changes will solidify Nactarome’s position as a leader in the industry. The investment is not just about improving our physical infrastructure; it is about laying the foundation for future growth. By creating a workplace and innovation hub that inspires our team and supports our customers, we are positioning ourselves as a forward-thinking leader in our industry.

We are excited to embark on the second phase of this journey and are pleased to be working with McFeggan Brown again. We look forward to unveiling more updates in the coming months.
