A Business Forged by Pioneers

Fredericks is a business forged by pioneers – a family of ice cream aficionados who first developed their commercial roots close to the Italian Riviera in 1896 and then exported their brand of Italian cool to the North West of England over the next hundred years.

Today the business continues to invest in people and has an enthusiastic and ambitious team that would rival any of our competitors. Whether it’s our sales communicators, ICOM team or production personnel, their entrepreneurial passion for ice cream you can believe in helps us develop new growth opportunities that deliver real competitive advantage for our fabulous brands.

As consumer focused manufacturers we advocate a ‘factory to freezer’ ecosystem that allows us to respond quickly and efficiently to changing market conditions and deliver improved results for our brand partners, retailers and consumers alike.
No other ice cream manufacturer can rival our ability to bring dynamic new ideas to market swiftly and efficiently.
