Surging sales in tea and biscuits have delivered a 10% lift in turnover at Newcastle tea manufacturers Ringtons.
The family firm, which marks its 115th anniversary this year, began with a horse-drawn delivery service across the streets of Newcastle but now sells its tea, coffee and biscuits across the UK and beyond, in stores, online and through its unique doorstep delivery service.
The Byker business, which produces more than 600 lines of tea including blends for a variety of white label customers, has now published accounts showing how it has bounced back from a hit it took at the start of the pandemic to see sales and profits rise above pre-pandemic levels.
