The Bridge of Allan-based firm, which has grown by around 20 per cent annually for the past 15 years, switched banks to RBS and will also get funding support from its asset finance arm, Lombard.

The firm plans to grow south of the Border, where currently it sources just 15 per cent of its revenue, and invest more in its cream and butter markets.

Managing director Robert Graham said: “We are 
expecting to report a turnover in excess of £82m for the year ending March 2014 and currently employ 420 people, but we don’t want to stop there.”
