Cotswold RAW plans to relocate this summer following a £1million investment in new premises. The move is part of a growth programme to meet increased demand for the popular high-quality raw meals, treats, and supplements for cats and dogs.

The new modern 30,000sq ft premises, based in Bourton-on-the-Water, are just 15 miles from the original factory, supporting the company’s ambition to remain in the Cotswolds heartlands. Currently making over two million meals per annum; the new facility will see production capacity double.

Mark Lewis, managing director at Cotswold RAW, said: “Production capacity has been limited at the current North Cotswold site and it’s taken a two-year search to find the right location which aligns with our business needs.  We were determined to stay true to our Cotswold roots and keep our manufacturing in the countryside. It was also very important to retain our 30-strong loyal team, many of whom have been with us since the very start of our Raw journey.

“The move will be transformative for the business, from the increased production capacity to improved team efficiency with all being together at one central location. Introducing a new digital adoption will also aid our growth with software, bringing teams, data and technology together to automate our processes. Capacity freezers and a separate unit for dispatch will also prove gamechangers for us.”
