Bosses at an East Durham food company reckon they have the opposition licked with their latest expansion plans.

Peterlee-based Beau’s has secured £400,000 investment as it looks to boost its vegan gelato brand with a new factory in the North East.

Beau’s has secured additional funding from investors including the TRICAP Group and venture capital firms Dismatrix and Northstar Ventures Limited – with funding from the North East Innovation Fund, supported by the European Regional Development Fund.

The investment has also enabled Beau’s to launch the UK’s first vegan ice cream subscription service – Beau’s Pint Club – which sends subscribers a dessert box of gelateria-quality vegan gelato, along with additional toppings cones and other extra items each month.
