RODDA’S – THE CREAM OF CRICKET AND GOOD CAUSES

Rodda’s, owners of a large, fifth generation family business based near Redruth in Cornwall have manufactured Cornish Clotted Cream for over 100 years. They are sponsoring the Big Cream Tea as a fund raising and profile building exercise for cricket and good causes.

Spearheaded by Andy Caddick, Vice Captain of Somerset Cricket Club and former England pace bowler, supported by Richard Gould, Chief Executive of Somerset Cricket Club, the Big Cream Tea was launched on Sunday, 29th April at the County Ground in Taunton.

Individual Rodda’s clotted cream teas and associated merchandise were provided for the launch event and will be available at other grounds throughout the UK during Summer 2007, easily recognisable by the Big Cream Tea branding and Rodda’s Fleur de Lys historic vehicle. The proceeds will be donated to cricket and selected local/national charities – supporting the Children’s Hospice South West at the opening event.

As a family business founded in 1890 and committed to excellence Rodda’s pledge that every pot of their clotted cream, liquid cream, crème fraiche or butter you buy will meet a standard worthy of the Rodda’s name.

From its earliest days, Rodda’s has strived to set new standards of consistency and performance. At first delivering only as far as a horse and cart could travel in a day. Since then they have developed new ways of extending shelf life, perfecting freezing techniques and introduced insulated pots for posting, ensuring total quality assurance in health and hygiene. Today this means nationally supplying supermarkets, caterers and corner shops…with exports reaching as far afield as Hong Kong. -ends-
