Many people believe that R & D takes place in the lab, but that is not always the case. This company specialises in creating unusual ice cream flavours and takes part in R & D in the boardroom and the kitchen.
This involves:
- Blue-sky thinking to extend the range leads to research and experiments to create new all natural flavourings.
- The base product is varied and small test batches made to develop all natural recipes that meet taste, texture and price requirements.
- The most promising recipes undergo large scale manufacturing trials to check production viability.
This company benefited from more than £114,000 in R&D tax relief. See how much you could benefit from with our R&D tax credit calculator.
