Adcock helps launch of wild game business
 
Featured on: www.adcock.co.uk
 
Adcock Group's industry-leading expertise in refrigeration installations has helped launch a new Essex business seeking to fill a niche in the food supply chain.

The Radwinter Wild Game Company is the new enterprise of Gilly Kiddy, who with her husband Jeremy has identified a gap in the market, and converted a redundant grain store at their farm, Radwinter Park in Radwinter, near Saffron Walden to a processing plant. The enterprise was officially opened by Jim Paice, MP for South East Cambridgeshire and Shadow Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.

Adcock engineers air conditioned Radwinter's offices and installed refrigeration systems throughout. The installation included an intake chiller, running between 2 and 8 degrees, to receive the game; a boning room at +12 degrees, a holding chiller (2-8 degrees), a packing room (+12 degrees) and cold store with freezer at -20.

Martyn Foreman, branch manager at Adcock Cambridge said: “Game dealers have become something of a rarity as regulations in the industry have tightened over the years. “Radwinter has high hopes of cornering a market that few other suppliers are in and as the product is wild they would appear to have identified a terrific opportunity. We were delighted to be in on the ground floor of what could become a UK success story.”

Funding from the Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE), delivered by the East of England Development Agency (EEDA), has made the new venture possible. It is also being backed by the Country Land and Business Association (CLA) which promotes local foods through its ‘Just Ask’ campaign.

Jim Paice MP, who opened the new facility said: “Every farmer has to look for new enterprises and what better than to combine modern processing techniques with the timeless tradition of wild meat to fulfil the ever increasing demand for high quality food?”
