The UK is our Home Market
Why UK?
The food and beverage sector is a cornerstone of the UK’s economy. The broader F&B supply chain – including agriculture, manufacturing, and retail – contributes £153.2 billion to UK GVA, or around 6.2% of the entire economy. The manufacturing sub-sector alone accounts for £37.3 billion in GVA or 15% of the total manufacturing industry. This makes food and drink the largest manufacturing sector in the UK – outstripping even automotive and pharmaceutical sectors.
Smartparc is purpose-built to maximise these advantages.
