Proud to be part of the Stockport community - Firstplay Dietary Foods and GM Business Growth Hub

"We're really proud to be from Stockport, and it's a place that's really on the up."

Like all Greater Manchester businesses, Firstplay Dietary Foods also encountered supply chain disruption during the pandemic. To address this challenge Managing Director, Tom Fletcher, transitioned from relying on raw materials from Europe to sourcing from local suppliers in his community of Stockport.

When working with GCP, a carton board supplier in Stockport, they received a much better service than national companies. Thanks to the geographical proximity, they can scope a project in the morning and receive the sample in the afternoon. This quick response, flexibility and efficiency are things they have never achieved before.

Proud to be part of the Stockport community, Firstplay has long supported the Good Employment Charter, offering real living wages to its employees. Tom believes that endorsing the charter helped them attract valuable talent, not only because of the wages but also because the company shared similar values with the charter.
