Newcastle-based Texan-inspired condiment producer The Sweet Beet has set out on an international growth plan. Texas-born founder Lizzy Hodcroft has overseen massive demand for her products, which are now available in over 60 farm shops and delis nationwide, as well as the nation’s largest online supermarket, Ocado.
With plans to export into Europe, the Middle East and China, and aspirations to appear on the shelves of leading speciality food stores in the next 12 months, life looks sweet.
