The Brecon-based company already supplies a variety of processed fruit and vegetables across the UK including as well as stuffing, ready meals and salsas. It will now export sun-dried tomatoes, red roasted onions, roasted garlic and red chillies to a company in Spain.

Speaking of their new venture, md Edward Gough said: 'It is the first time that we have exported our products to mainland Europe and we are hoping that other orders will follow.

'The ingredients will be supplied frozen and will be used for a range of well known sauces that are sold in UK supermarkets.

'Frozen products account for only a small percentage of our sales but we see it as an area for potential growth. We can supply a wide range of frozen ingredients to order and our new line of potted ingredients are ideal for freezing.'
