News: Beatson Clark dressing for success

Owen Potts has chosen white flint bottles from Rotherham glass manufacturer Beatson Clark for its new range of high-end sauces and dressings.

The Wiltshire company has launched a range of three cooking sauces and three dressings which are being sold exclusively through Sainsburys for 12 months.

Beatson Clark is supplying its standard 250ml white flint dressing bottle with a standard twist off 43mm neck finish for the prestigious range.

Michelle Potts, wife of Owen Potts who set up the family business in 2007, said: “We love the bottle: it has a tall, slim silhouette that suits the simple label and it really makes the products stand out from the crowd.

"We insisted on having glass bottles for the sauces and dressings as it's a high-quality material that fits the premium nature of the product.

"The wide neck of the bottle is perfect as it makes pouring the thicker sauces and dressings easier."

Lynn Sidebottom, sales and marketing director at Beatson Clark, said: "These bottles are part of our extensive general sale range, which is very popular with our customers. The range features some great designs which offer fantastic stand-out on shelf, and they're a good way to test the market without investing a lot of time and money in a completely new design."

Beatson Clark has a turnover of £44m and a production capacity of around 496 million units or 88,000 tonnes at their Greasborough Road facility.
