A FOOD shop is tasting success – thanks to the Lancashire Telegraph’s We’re Backing Business campaign.
The owners of The Deli in Rawtenstall have found ways to cut costs and grow their business after tapping into free, impartial advice through our campaign.
We’re Backing Business aims to put East Lancashire’s entrepreneurs in touch with experts at Business Link North West to help them prosper.
Partners Nate Nicholson and Steven Thomas sell home-made pickles, chutneys, cakes and sauces from their premises in Bank Street.
The pair made changes to the outlet after taking over in 2007 and now, after help from Business Link advisor Mick Hadfield, the company is adapting and growing.
Nate said: “Mick suggested that we look into getting someone else to manufacture and package our products off site.
“It’s not something we had considered and it’s been really useful to have a third party come in and look objectively at the options.”
