We have over 60 self employed distributors operating out of 5 depots in various locations in the Southern half of England. These are professional ‘fishmen’ who know their products inside out.
Each depot contains a cold store and a dry ice station. Dry ice is used to keep the products frozen and is much better that having to keep a freezer van plugged in. The reps all have their own customers, some of which have been with their rep for many years. A great testament to the products we produce and source.
DSD Foodgroup are one of the UK’s highest users of dry ice. We buy in large quantities daily and is used for a number of applications.
The main use of dry ice for us is keeping our products frozen. After the product has left the cold store it needs to be kept frozen at a minimum of -22 C. Our distributor network delivering to home owners use blocks of dry ice to keep theses products in optimal condition. Dry ice sublimates at -75.5 C so there is plenty of cold to go around.
Cold storage costs a lot of money and huge energy consumption.
Developing cold storage solutions that save on energy and maximise space was a big concern for us when we commissioned our main unit. We invested in a state of the art roller racking system and extremely efficient condensers and fan units to power the huge complex down to -25C. We are very proud of our cold storage facilities and look forward to many years of use.
Contract packing is a varied undertaking. You need access to all sorts of wonderful machines that cater for a large range of different products to be packed and wrapped.
Having fast access to these machines and the relevant expertise is a necessity due to the nature of food products. Shelf life and sell by dates need to be strictly adhered to and there is no room for error.
When you undertake starting a foodservice business, everything must in place before the first order is made by the restaurant. This takes a huge investment.
Getting Food Standards Agency approval was a huge milestone for us. The level of detail and specifications that our in-house butchery had to achieve was truly epic. It’s probably why the UK is amongst the safest and most supervised food production Countries in the world. Everything is produced to a very high standard.
