he wagon was carrying a substantial load of chipping potatoes, but unfortunately came off the highway at a bend in the road between Stretham and Chittering.

A police spokesman said: “Thankfully the driver of vehicle has walked away uninjured and no other vehicles were involved.

“The incident caused a considerable amount disruption to local traffic, but this being said we can all be grateful that - other than the vehicle itself - no other damage or injury has been caused” The A10 reopened after around six hours.

The vehicle was carrying over 1,000 bags of potatoes & led to both lanes of the A10 at Stretham being closed.

The police spokesman said: “It looked like the lorry has jack-knifed and is was partially in a field, blocking both lanes.

“About 1,000 bags of potatoes had to be moved before the vehicle recovery took place. It is believed that the vehicle owner and other employees turned up to assist with moving the potatoes.”

MUSIC WAS MY FIRST LOVE! (but fish will be my last)

By Austen Dack and Nick Miller

Tell us a little about the history of Millers?

Millers is a fourth generation, family run fish and chip shop in Haxby. The shop is managed by myself, Nick Miller, and my father, David Miller. Fish and Chips has played such an important part in our family history, ever since my GreatGrandfather, Joe Miller opened his first shop during World War 2. I grew up in the shop and spent a lot of time here when I was younger – I was actually in a Seafish Training video that was filmed in our shop way back in the 90s!

Nick, what were you doing in music?

What made you change direction in your career?

I spent a large amount of time travelling the world as a professional drummer.

I played with a variety of live bands, spanning lots of genres and I’ve been lucky enough to be a part of some amazing world tours, theatre shows and even orchestras! After taking some time off, I found myself spending more and

6

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • February 2017

more time in the shop. The more time I spent working at the shop with my Dad, the more I fell in love with it. Eventually, I was sitting in a studio in Nashville one day and realised I’d become so attached to the shop and my vision for it that I couldn’t think of anything else- it was time to go home. I’ve gone from playing in front of thousands of people on a Friday night to serving them fish and chips instead and I wouldn’t change a thing.

How has Millers evolved particularly in the last year?

We’ve made so many changes in the last year, from the type of batter we use and our serving procedures all the way to a complete shop renovation and the installation of a new Florigo range. My dad worked as a chef on a luxury cruise liner for a long time, so we came up with the idea of bistro nights: opening late once a week to offer an extended menu of seafood (all MSC certified!) to our customers. I’ve also introduced social media to the business. Nothing in terms

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • February 2017

of digital and social marketing existed before I joined Dad in the shop, but now we’ve been able to spread the word of fish and chips far and wide thanks to the likes of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!

How was the awards process and are you entering again?

The awards process was absolutely fantastic, exhilarating, exhausting and everything in between! I attended last year and, after experiencing it all for the first time, I just knew we had to enter. I was blown away by it all: the fantastic atmosphere, the friendliness of everyone there; just the spirit of everyone coming together to celebrate the industry we’re all so proud of. We just want to say thank you to Seafish for presenting us with such a great opportunity, because we’ve never looked back. This is the first time we’ve ever entered anything like this before, and it’s been such an amazing experience – not just for us, but for all of our staff and customers. The whole thing has been unforgettable and we can’t believe how much our community have got behind us throughout the year and all the way to the final. We’re delighted to have come third place and we’d urge anyone out there who hasn’t entered to stop thinking about it and get on it!

What do you think of the wider fish and chip community as you get more involved?

That’s probably the most powerful thing about the awards and the awards process as a whole – the camaraderie, good will and support of the industry for each other’s achievements. It’s easy to work away in your shop and only work with your suppliers but there is a whole industry out there that has a lot to be proud of. We have never been more connected with our industry, all around the country, and we couldn’t be more proud of that. www.millersfish.co.uk

he shop scooped the ultimate title - Independent Takeaway Fish and Chip Shop of the Year – at the awards ceremony held at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel in London – an event widely regarded as the ‘Oscars’ of the fish frying industry.

To secure the top spot, Kingfisher Fish and Chips had to progress through a rigorous, multi-stage judging process over a seven month period; encompassing several mystery shopping assessments and in-depth audits by industry experts, reviewing everything from responsible sourcing policies to menu diversification – and of course, customer service levels and the quality of fish and chips being served.

The final stage of judging, held the day before the awards ceremony, put the shop’s presentation skills to the test as they faced a 14-strong specialist industry judging panel – ‘battering’ it out against the nine other regional* finalists in a ‘Dragon’s Den’ style pitch.

BBC Radio 2, shop owners Nikki Mutton and Craig Maw said: “We are absolutely elated!

We’ve entered this award three times now, coming second last year, so to go all the way is amazing – I guess three really is a charm.

“We’ve only owned the shop for four years and have already achieved some amazing things; we have the world’s most sustainable seafood menu, are one of only two fish and chip businesses in the UK to have a 3 star rating from the Sustainable Restaurant Association, along with over 25 industry and non-industry awards, but I have to admit that winning this award is the pinnacle of our careers.

“We’ve worked hard to take sustainability to the next level and this is at the core of our business. We’re proud to offer over 12 Marine Stewardship Council certified fish species, but we’ve not stopped there; we even use QR codes to let customers trace the journey of their fish, from sea to place.

“It feels like everything we’ve worked for has come to fruition now. We’re more than ready to take the crown, and look forward to championing our industry and the nation’s favourite takeaway.”

In second place was Burton Road Chippy and third Millers of Haxby. Well done from Chippy Chat to all ten finalists. www.fishandchipawards.com Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • February 2017

Shop owner Simon Walsh, said: “Winning this award is a little overwhelming, but extremely gratifying. The last year and a half has been a rollercoaster as we have had to learn from scratch, but winning is a reflection of all the effort we have put in!

“The fish and chip industry is renowned for having long-standing, established businesses, often passed down through generations of families. Being a newbie to the industry and facing the rigorous judging of the competition was a little daunting but it is certainly all worth it now. We are incredibly proud of the business that we have built and hope it lasts for many years to come.”

Award sponsor Andrew Marriott, Brand and Marketing Manager for Frymax, said: “It’s always an honour to support an award that celebrates the industry’s fledgling businesses. The most enjoyable aspect of our involvement is getting to see firsthand the new and talented individuals who are passionately driven to produce great tasting fish and chips.

Laura Cowan from Rockfish, said: “Sustainability is something we are passionate about, rather than something we practice to ‘tick a box’. Our access to and relationships with the local fish markets mean that our fish is landed and served the same day. We work to educate our customers on the sustainability of the industry by varying our menu depending on what is available that day, while offering £3 portions from our takeaways once a month with a different, responsibly sourced fish each time.”

Award co-sponsor Steven Tilston of Norfisk, commented: “As a company that is passionate about sustainable line-caught products, it’s been an honour to support an award category that shares our business values.

“Rockfish demonstrated that they are true UK leaders in this field, going above and beyond to ensure a vibrant future for the wider fish and chip industry in addition to focusing on their own menu offering.”

Shop owner Mark Drummond, said: “We won this category two years ago so to be named the winner again, and know that we’re the only shop to have ever won the same category twice, is an incredible achievement.

“We’re a local community takeaway that prides itself in doing things just as well, if not better, than the big chains. We provide all our customers with calorie information, show videos highlighting nutritional content and inform them of where their food comes from; we feel it’s important to tell the story of our product rather than just selling and serving.

“The shop has a small but very dedicated team that’s been with me for a long time. I can’t wait to share this news with them and take the next step in our journey together.”

Award sponsor Caroline Klinge at LoSalt, said: “We are delighted to be crowning Towngate Fisheries as this year’s winner of the 2017 Healthy Eating Fish & Chips Award.

“We know consumers are increasingly looking for easy, healthy swaps that don’t compromise on flavour and now with fish and chip shops offering healthier options, such as LoSalt, grilled fish, healthier frying oils and alternative side dishes.

Consumers really do have a choice and can now enjoy a great tasting, healthier takeaway.”

Papa’s Fish and Chips has won the marketing innovation award.

George Papadamou , who co-owns Papa’s Fish and Chips with his brother Dino, said: “We decided that the best way to spread our message to the Hull community was by keeping the marketing in-house. We held a 50th birthday bash for Papa’s and threw it back to 1966 with 50p portions of fish and chips. We were so busy it caused a gridlock – it was amazing! Having the community celebrate with us was really special and allowed us to do something a bit different.”

Award sponsor Paul Williams, Managing Director at KFE, added: “As a company, we fully embrace and understand the growing importance of creative marketing and branding – making us an apt sponsor for this award.

“Overall, it’s fantastic to see so many businesses investing in the industry and raising the profile of our national dish. However, with an effective and unique approach to their marketing strategy, Papa’s Fish and Chips is a deserving winner. I wish them a very successful future.”

George, who co-owns Papa’s Fish and Chips with his brother Dino, said: “These awards have been the cherry on top of what has been a great year!

I’m really looking forward to acting as an ambassador for the industry and I hope that I can motivate young friers as much as past winners have me.

Award sponsor Kelvin Lee, Managing Director of Drywite Ltd, said: “Now in its 22nd year, this award showcases the exceptionally high quality of young talent emerging – the standard of which makes me very proud.

“There has always been a strong commitment from our previous winners to support and promote the competition and encourage other young friers to enter, thus ensuring a prosperous future for the frying industry.”

L-R Kelly and Tim Barnes, Sponsor Austen Dack and Nigel Barden - Krispies - Field to Frier Award Winners

Krispies

in Exmouth, Devon Krispies in Exmouth, Devon, has won the From Field to Frier Award.

Shop owner Kelly Barnes, said: “This is the first time we’ve entered the award so we’re truly overwhelmed and very thankful to be crowned winners.

“Chips are often not given the attention they deserve, as fish is generally thought to be a more important component of fish and chips. However, we work extremely hard to ensure that our potato sourcing and chipping skills are top notch. The hard work must have paid off as not only do we now attract customers from all over Devon and Cornwall, we’ve also won an award!”

Award sponsor Oliver Boutwood, Director at Isle of Ely Produce, said: “This award, which is now in its fifth year, has really captured the attention and imagination of both farmers and friers alike, and it has become a part of our intrinsic values here at Isle of Ely Produce. I’m so pleased to see that fish and chip businesses are really starting to think about the whole journey of their potato from seed all the way to their customer.

“Congratulations to the Krispies team on their well-earned success and I wish them the very best for the future.”

o earn his spot at the top, George had to showcase his talents during a rigorous, multi-stage judging process; encompassing exam questionnaires and in-depth telephone interviews conducted by senior industry experts. He was subjected to further appraisal as he received a skills based assessment and underwent a personal interview during a comprehensive judging day at the National Federation of Fish Friers (NFFF) Training School in Leeds, West Yorkshire. George also received a mystery judging visit at his respective workplace to test his skills and knowledge whilst in his own working environment.

Elise, 17, is the youngest ever contender for the Young Fish Frier of the Year award. Amazingly she completed the process at just 16, to gain second spot was incredible.

James Houlston is no stranger to the award and is always consistently excellent at his job. Aged just 21 James should be proud of his achievements thus far.

Andrew and Luke should also be very proud to have been recognised as outstanding young friers. These five are all names to look out for in our industry in the future.

Outstanding Achievement Award sponsored by

L-R Sponsor Ben Bartlett, Audrey Bonnett and Nick Melworth Coombs - fish! Kitchen Foodservice Operator Winner

Fish! Kitchen London

F

ish! Kitchen has won the Best Foodservice Operator Award.

Director Charlee Allan, said: “We’re over the moon to be crowned the winner of this category, especially when this is our first time entering the awards.

“We opened our first shop in 1999 in Borough Market, London, and since then our focus has never changed; quality and responsible sourcing is, and will always be, our main concern. We source our produce direct from Borough Market itself and our fish is delivered daily from our very own fishmonger, Jarvis.

“Winning this award is a great way to celebrate our 15th birthday, knowing that we’ve been around for over a decade and are still able to provide customers with great tasting food is really encouraging – here’s to 15 more happy years!”

Award sponsor Mick Bacon, Responsible Fishing Scheme Fleet Manager, said: “This award is a great way for getting more general foodservice businesses involved in our industry, especially those that go the extra mile to provide their customers with the best tasting fish and chips.

“It’s fantastic to see so many businesses like Fish!

Kitchen serving an exceptionally high standard of fish and chips. I would like to congratulate them for the important contribution they are making to our industry.”

Midlands Seafish Training Assciation

M

ichael Pili, who runs the Midlands Seafish Industry Training Association, has won an award for his outstanding contribution to the fish frying industry after being nominated by his peers.

Michael said. “Most people in the room up for an award new they had a chance of winning. This award came out of the blue, my mouth dropped and I was over whelmed. I have helped many people over the years become winners, I never thought that one day I would be one myself – thank you.”

Award sponsor Peter Hill, CEO at Middleton Foods, said: “Mike Pili is renowned in our industry with over 55 years’ experience. He was not only one of the best friers in the past, but in recent years he has gone onto become one of the most thorough judges in the history of the awards and, arguably, the industry.

“Working tirelessly for years, he has raised the standards of our country’s fish and chip businesses, especially in the Midlands by embracing independent shop owners. He motivates others to expect and demand more from their businesses, constantly striving to push the industry forward and help shops serve a better product.

“In my opinion there is no person who has given what he has to this industry. What he does is instrumental to the development of our sector. He is a leading light, and this industry may still be in the dark ages without his contribution.”

he launch campaign centres ar o u n d the strapline ‘Everything’s Pukka’, focusing on the good mood feeling created by tucking into a delicious, comforting and heart-warming Pukka Pie in the face of life’s everyday ups and downs.

As part of the relaunch Pukka has invested heavily in product development and consumer testing, ensuring that the popular pies continue to make a name for themselves in public venues and chip shops around the country.

The whole of the New Best-Ever range now features improved golden flaky pastry, and now contains butter, to increase appeal with its consumers.

Rachael Bouch, Pukka Pies CEO commented “We are very proud to have been a well-loved staple in chip shops and venues around the UK for over 50 years. Following very positive independent taste-tests of our New Best-Ever range, we’re looking forward to seeing how they go down with the public.

The Chips are Down for Mighty Imps!

Lincoln City FC have recently become the nation’s second team after their exploits in this season’s FA Cup, and we think we have found out the secret behind their success

By Austen Dack

T

he team have been dining at Burton Road Chip shop courtesy of owners Lesley and Des. This Lincoln chippy was recently crowned as the second best independent chip shop in the whole of the UK. Lesley said “We have always had a strong connection with the club, Chairman Bob Dorian has always been a regular customer- and came to cook fish and chips for the team during chip week in 2012.

“The recent visit came about as Imps special management duo Danny and Nicky Cowley are regular customers Des was chatting to them about the previous club visit and invited the whole club to come for lunch again.

We spoke to their dietician - the only condition for the menu was, no white bread! which only goes to show what a

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • February 2017

nutritious meal fish and chips is.”

“We look forward to welcoming the team back in the very near future- for a huge celebration, the amazing success of our football club really adds to what already is destined to be an amazing year for our city.”

“We were ecstatic with Lincoln’s win against Ipswich or should I say Impswich (steady on Lesley - Austen) and to go on to beat Brighton was just out of this world.

The whole city is buzzing, even the BBC wanted to screen the Lincoln game but FA were having none of it. Lincoln is firmly on the map now.”

Even Jeff Stelling got in the act by giving Burton Road a mention on his national tv sports show.

This whole story just goes to show how important it is to have strong links to your local community. Burton Road have done an incredible job in Lincoln. Their brand and brand values are incredible as well as the fact they serve fantastic food too.

Have you put yourself on the map by your strong links in your community?

Fintan Hits Sausage Jackpot!

E

very brand and business likes to feel the love of its customers, and in a highly competitive world, all brands are working hard to stay relevant, competitive and top of their industry. In the food sector, this is possibly even more important to companies and manufacturers. That said, you can just imagine the smiles that were created at McWhinney’s a number of weeks ago, when the Irish Pork Sausages manufacturer was contacted out-of-the-blue by a famous chip shop in Northern Ireland, McNulty’s.

When owner Brian McNulty received a letter complimenting his chip shops’ choice of pork sausages from 10 year old Fintan McIvor, he and the 119 year-old sausage manufacturer decided to reward this sausage fanatic. Fintan had written to McNulty’s praising the sausages that he regularly eats from their chip shop. The sausages were McWhinney’s Irish Pork Sausages, which the famous shop has used for many years. In his letter, Fintan described them as “succulent”, “full of flavour” and “yummy”, and declared that he simply refused to eat any other brand of sausage.

As shop owner Brian McNulty explains.

“Our sausages are made by McWhinney’s using only top quality pork. We have been using the same sausages for the past 30 years, thereby guaranteeing a consistent product to our customers.”

In a gesture from both McWhinney’s and McNulty’s chip shop, young Fintan has already

38

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • February 2017

taken delivery of a case of McWhinney’s Sausages for his home. Additionally, he will also receive a free McWhinnney’s Sausage Supper every week for a full year!

Kevin McWhinney, MD of McWhinney’s Sausages, was delighted that Fintan got it touch. “Young Fintan may be only 10 but it’s clear that he’s already got great taste and knows quality food when he sees it! The fact that he took the time to hand-write a letter to Brian at McNulty’s highlights the difference he and thousands of others see in our products, and we were only too happy to reward his support with a year’s supply of fabulous McWhinney’s Sausage Suppers from McNulty’s!”

The last word is with Fintan of course, who has very stern views on his favourite meal, “I will only eat McWhinney’s Sausages from McNulty’s. They are class!”

Well said, Fintan! www.mcwhinneys.com

The winners’ enclosure Henry Colbeck once again did the fish and chip industry proud at their recent What’s Cooking? 2017 exhibition. Held at Newcastle Racecourse this all-encompassing show provided a one stop shop of ideas for the Fish & Chip and Fast Food Market.

T

he weekend kicked off in style with a marvellous charity dinner for 200 plus guests. Lots of familiar faces tucked into their food and caught up with friends and colleagues. A few of us escaped into the fine city of Newcastle afterwards to sample the fantastic Geordie hospitality before tucking up ahead of the big day.

Then onto the show itself. A myriad display of product demonstrations, product sampling, special offers, new products, F5707Colbeck_WhatsCooking_A4_2017.qxp_F5707Colbeck_WhatsCooking_A4 12/09/2016 15:20 Page 1 children’s entertainment, and lots more.

We were there promoting Chippy Chat and Isle of Ely Produce too. It was lovely to meet and chat to so many different people. The feedback we continue to receive from friers and suppliers at these events is still very encouraging, thanks for that.

A special mention to Duncan Mclean, Jackie Pearson and the whole Colbeck team (Matthew thanks for your help) for your hard work and hospitality. Events like What’s Cooking require lots of time and cajoling, it was a fantastic weekend.

Her Royal Fryness!

Alison Blyth’s passion for food runs in her blood.

She grew up surrounded by people who loved to cook, including her mother, a professional baker, and her brother, a trained chef.

B

lyth, who moved from England to the States in 1980, gained experience in Washington, D.C., restaurants. In 1988, she opened the popular La La Land in Rehoboth Beach, followed in 1997 by Yum Yum, a Pan-Asian bistro. In 2002, she opened go fish!, a fish-and-chips takeout shop. It was so wildly popular that she transformed the business into a 40-seat restaurant. Blyth isn’t about to rest on her chips. She has plenty of ideas—and has since launched Go Brit! and has the determination to make them a reality.

It’s not surprising that go fish! and go brit! deliver an authentic experience.

Growing up, London native Alison Blyth enjoyed the best of the “chippies,” the takeout restaurants offering the quintessentially British fish and chips.

After finding smashing success with the upscale restaurants La La Land and Yum Yum in Rehoboth Beach, Blyth in 2002 decided to return to her roots—with a twist or two.

The 40-seat Go Fish! restaurant offers all the British favourites: fish and chips, bangers and mash, mushy peas, shepherd’s pie and fisherman’s pie.

Customers clamour for the jolly good Sticky Toffee Pudding, the house dessert, which has been featured on the “Today Show.”

Located in a resort town that fancies seafood, go fish! has also earned acclaim for its fish tacos, crab cakes, shrimp and linguini, beer-battered soft-shell crabs and Maryland crab chowder. Landlubbers can’t get enough of the tandoori chicken and sirloin steak and chips.

A stickler for detail, Blyth is crazy about quality control. Which is why customers can count on a crisp coating for their fish and never-frozen chips every single time, bloody marvellous for sure. The restaurant staff takes a team approach to ensure you’re served promptly.

Open seven days a week, all year long, go fish! offers specials to appeal to both your appetite and your budget with most

dinner entrees coming in at less than $13.

The Rehoboth Avenue restaurant is just steps from the Boardwalk. Why not visit, relax and have a pint with them.

Go Brit! Just down the road in Delaware is just as charming. It is this model that Alison is franchising.

The US News Journal’s deputy feature editor Patricia Talorico wrote “It’s Alison’s more recent, sibling eatery to her flagship go fish! I’ve long been convinced that Alison offers the best fish + chips in Delaware. Indeed, I think she has some of the best fish + chips I’ve ever eaten. So, I was wondering how it would go at the second location.

It’s a fun, light-hearted spot that Anglophiles should love. That’s Alison’s car. It doesn’t run anymore, but it’s a cool decoration.

I think she told me it’s the same model – a British Leyland Mini 1000 – that Mr. Bean used to drive.

This is a very casual spot. Don’t you love the Mind the Gap sign? Last time I visited London, I took the Underground everywhere. I was hearing that voice saying, Mind the Gap, in my sleep.

No waiting staff. You order at the counter. They do have beer. If you’re eating in, they’ll deliver the food to the table.

I got takeout – but I warn you: Eat it right away. Fish + chips ($10.95) is like pasta, it waits for no one.

The crispiness of the batter will begin to soften if you wait too long. You don’t want that to happen. Soggy is not good when it comes to fish + chips.

This batter is so terrific. It’s light, crunchy, wonderful. The fish is moist. Just as good as the Rehoboth location. They give you tartar sauce, but I asked for vinegar for dipping.

We don’t have royals here in the states, but I do think Alison should be crowned Queen of Fish + Chips. www.gobrit.com www.gofishrehoboth.com

Insurance of Champions Kingfisher Fish and Chips in Plymouth, Devon, the recently crowned No1 takeaway in Britain is the latest chippy to realise the benefits of taking out an insurance policy with the industry specialist, Wrapped

K

ingfisher Fish & Chips is almost unrecognisable from the business that Craig Maw and Nikki Mutton bought four years ago. Switching things up a gear from the minute the pair took over, they moved from pre-prepared chips to chipping and peeling their own potatoes, carried out a full refurbishment of the premises, installed a five pan high efficiency Kiremko frying range and put sustainability at the heart of the business.

Wanting to protect the thriving business he and Nikki have built up, Craig recently started to question his insurance policy after speaking to a number of friers in the trade whose claims were not paid out due to inadequate or inappropriate cover.

Craig comments: “Like most fish and chip shops, you just make the assumption that if there’s an incident, you’re covered. It wasn’t until we realised other shops had had fires and they later found out they weren’t covered that I sat up and started to take notice of the small print.”

Aware that more top operators in the industry were turning to Wrapped for cover, an insurance policy which is specifically designed for fish and chip shops around its working practices, Craig looked into the policy and felt it was right for his business, working for him rather than against him.

Wrapped also not only understood Craig’s business, but it also took note of the working

practices at Kingfisher and offered substantial discounts for demonstrating good practice, holding a 5 star Food Hygiene Rating for example as well as the NFFF Quality Award.

Discounts for best practice

Craig was able to secure a further discount with the admission that as of January his existing range and a new three pan range will both be fitted with ANSUL fire suppression systems. Craig adds: “At busy times, we’re maxed out on our existing five pan range, so we’ve ordered another Kiremko three pan to increase capacity and future-proof ourselves. Both will be fitted with ANSUL fire suppression systems as it gives us added reassurance. It’s always on the back of your mind that anything mechanical can still fail.

If there is a fire in one of the pans, the fire suppression system will extinguish it with immediate effect. I heard a fact recently that 80% of business that suffer a serious fire either never re-open or they close within 18 months. With this system, there’s a 48 hour turnaround before we can use that pan again, which is pretty good because it’s not going to put us out of business.”

Also fundamental to Craig’s decision to go with Wrapped was knowing that the cover he was purchasing is open to improvements and that, over time, it would become even more tailored to the sector than it already is. He adds: “The fish and chip industry is evolving, it’s getting better and more stringent, and it’s important that insurance companies evolve and move at the same time. A policy that was suitable six years ago may not be relevant now because things are changing.

“I feel extremely confident in the fact that we are more covered and better covered now, without a shadow of a doubt.”

Other UK Champion Chip Shops already using Wrapped for their insurance include Frankies, Shetland and Calum Richardson at the Bay, Stonehaven
