Dog food company expands Yorkshire team three months after launch

A new dog food company has announced that it is expanding its team just three months after launching.

Walker & Drake, based in Yorkshire, launched in June and is adding new members to its team before the end of the year.

The company said that its concentration on ecommerce throughout the pandemic has helped push its expansion, as well as a renewed interest in buying from British companies rather than overseas.

Richard Grant, co-founder of Walker & Drake, commented: “We love our dogs and we have invested vast amounts of time and research about what’s good for them, but also convenient for us as their owners.

“As a nation of dog lovers, we’re becoming increasingly more aware of the manufacturing process involved in their food.

“Cold pressed dog food has minimal processing to lock in nutrients and make it tasty and healthy for the dog, and easy to serve up for the owner.

“It’s also increasingly important to customers that they support a British company, and some have told us that they’ve only just realised their existing dog food is made abroad.

“Lockdown has created a more local mindset and people have had more time to research the products they use and so they’re actively looking for food that’s made in the UK.

“This combined with the growth in dog ownership has meant a strong start to the business.”
