Colin Grey is the joint owner of the Rossi Ice Cream brand, along with his brother Mike. They sell to the business sector and since buying the company they’ve moved it forward commercially.

‘We found we needed to update systems and marketing to ensure the success of this iconic brand, says Colin.

‘The only hi tech equipment here was a fax machine. There was no barcoding and only a few contracts with retail outlets.

So we’ve updated the labelling and packaging and created a website.’ Since then they’ve also introduced new flavours including rhubarb and custard, rocky road and this month they’ve launched black vanilla ice cream!
