Sous Vide Tools plots international growth with £700,000 backing

Established in 2011, the business has become a leading retailer of sous vide cookery tools, equipping professional chefs and foodies in the UK and across the world.

The sous vide technique involves vacuum sealing food before immersing it in a water bath at a precisely-controlled temperature for up to 72 hours, helping eliminate the risk of human error and guaranteeing precise cooking.

The finance will also assist Sous Vide Tools in opening new offices in London and Norway. Jon Higginson, HSBC’s commercial manager for Lancashire and Cumbria, said: “Sous Vide is a fine example of a dynamic Lancashire business that is geared for growth through export. It is a pleasure to support the business as it undergoes rapid expansion and we look forward to seeing the team continue to grow.”
