The company has also invested almost £250,000 in plant and equipment – including new filling lines for smaller pack sizes, and a state-of-the art warehouse racking system. A new gas boiler system costing more than £160,000 has also allowed RP Adam to convert its heating from oil to gas, bringing improved environmental and cost savings benefits, including a 29% reduction in the factory’s greenhouse gas emissions.
Martin Carroll, Group Technical Director, oversaw the production and warehouse expansion projects. He said: “With several new long-term contracts bedded in and a number of supply partnerships starting to bear fruit, we decided now is the time to invest in improving the entire site – both from a capacity and operational standpoint.

drive future growth, which matches the company’s ambition.”
The recent expansion at the Selkirk plant is a major part of RP Adam’s five-year investment and growth programme, launched to mark the company’s 125th anniversary, which sets out a £20million turnover target to be reached by 2020.
Group Sales & Marketing Director Max Adam added: “We still have ample space in Selkirk for future expansion, and this current round of investments underlines our commitment to managing an efficient, environmentally responsible and successful operation here in this beautiful part of the Scottish Borders, where we have had a significant presence for the last 125 years.
“Our group goal ahead of 2020 is to use the experience and talent within the wider RP Adam family to expand the business at home and particularly in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Saudi Arabia where we have a significant presence. It is an exciting time for the company and this project at our factory further emphasises our desire to increase our manufacturing and logistics capabilities to match current and future growth.”
