In 1983 Russell Morley was running Food Specialties in Canada in partnership with Smith and O'Flaherty. The business was growing rapidly to supply customers in every part of Canada. Russell was travelling and working long hours to support this growth.
His mother said to him one day "You look so tired, Why don't you come home to England for a rest?" The "rest" is history, as they say. He could not rest and when he arrived in England for his relaxation Russell started to look for opportunities to do business there.
He met Buff Harvey at Langage Farm in Devon. Buff and Len had travelled the world looking for all the information they needed to make the best quality ice cream. Russell helped with the recipe and provided some of our ingredients.
Food Specialties U.K. Ltd. started this way and continued to invest in developing the market in Britain for many years before the financial rewards began to be felt. We have helped many ofour customers to make the kind of ice cream people come back for again and again, because they liked it. Our business, and the businesses of our customers have grown steadily.
Buff Harvey made the best clotted cream in Devon and the best ice cream in the world.
We are proud of our reputation for helping others to be the best they can be. We are ready to help you with the technical challenges and organoleptic delights of making the products yourcustomers are longing for.
