The food and drink industry
.
Overview

With its wealth of brands and reputation as a recession-proof sector, the food and drink industry can be highly profitable. It is a reliable old-economy business which can be highly cash generative. It's companies often come with strong asset backing and there is scope for expansion in high growth niche markets such as chilled, convenience and health focussed snack foods.

Whether food and drink manufacturers develop high advertising spend, higher margin brands or provide low margin private label products, there will always be a strong drive for operational efficiency, particularly in the UK with the dominance of a small number of supermarket chains.

Newton has wide ranging experience in improving operational efficiency in both the food and drink sectors. We have a strong track record of specific measurable financial returns to clients achieved before we have finished projects. All of our achievements are made on the shop floor through challenge, engineering skills and through working with in-house teams.
