The Indigo Way

IFG is a lean, growth-focused group that uses fresh thinking to produce high-quality foods safely at exceptional value. We focus on being dynamic, efficient and entrepreneurial, which is made possible by our privately owned status. We can make quick, smart decisions to fuel future success. New opportunities are embraced, processes are perfected and profits are reinvested to drive future growth.

These values and operating practices flow through BM Foods, the original company in the now larger IFG Group. 

Thanks to our agile business model, we are highly responsive to our customers' needs and ambitions. We can adapt and scale our operations to meet any requirement, whilst maintaining our exceptionally high-quality production standards, including our BRC AA+ and Red Tractor Accreditation.
