About this documentary

Who says we don’t make anything anymore?

In the first of a three-part series on how Britain pays its way in the world, Evan Davis busts the myths that we were wrong to let so much of our manufacturing go abroad, and that we have become a nation of shopkeepers, bankers and estate agents.

As Evan Davis flies in the world’s most revolutionary jet and drives one of the world’s fastest supercars, he discovers Britain still makes a lot it can be proud of. But post crash, he asks is it enough to meet the country’s bills.

About Infinity Foods

Infinity Foods began in 1971 with a small shop in Brighton, England.
In 1985, as a result of the increasing demand for bulk whole food orders a group of members set up a separate wholesale branch. Run initially from a site in Saltdean, and an eventual move to a warehouse in Portslade where they still reside.

Over the years, as the whole foods market has grown so has the wholesale division of Infinity Foods. What started as a small outlet at the rear of the shop is today one of the UK’s leading national distributors of high quality, organic, fair-trade and natural products.

Why Lakeview?
Infinity Foods required a solution to allow for further business expansion and de-risk the business from the in-house solution. The solution in mind needed to manage the distribution operation, boost operational efficiency across its supply-chain, increase visibility and give access to business-critical data across the entire organisation.
