What does it take to turn an idea in your home kitchen into a food business? 👀

For Fermento Puro founder Luca Bella, it meant finding somewhere he could test, learn and improve his production before making a major investment in facilities of his own.

Fermento Puro began in Luca’s home kitchen and grew from a love of good food and a desire to create fresh kimchi using simple, honest ingredients.

At The Food WorksSW, Luca found access to development kitchen space - alongside advice, encouragement and people who could help answer the questions that come with starting a food business.

As Luca puts it: “They provided advice and encouragement when I needed it most.”

Got an idea you’re ready to take beyond your home kitchen?

Our development kitchens give food and drink businesses flexible access to professional space and specialist facilities!

Big opportunities are coming for South West businesses! 🤖

The new £9.8 million Greater South West Robotics Adoption Hub is set to help businesses explore how robotics and automation could improve productivity, support growth and introduce new ways of working.

Led by Bristol Robotics Laboratory, the programme will support businesses across a range of sectors — including food and drink.

And this is just the beginning... 👀

Applications to access support through the Hub will be opening soon, giving businesses the opportunity to explore how robotics and automation could work within their own operations.

If you’re a food or drink business interested in innovation, automation or finding smarter ways to work, keep an eye on our channels.

We’ll be sharing more about the opportunities available to food and drink businesses as the programme launches in November.
