Developing Our Cold Storage Network
In 2016, several cold storage businesses based at the current Magnavale Chesterfield, Magnavale Scunthorpe and Magnavale Warrington facilities merged under the Rick Bestwick brand name and achieved the critical mass needed to offer a national service to the food Industry.
From 2016 through to 2021, the business thrived and grew under tough operating conditions and pressures from Brexit, Covid and industry wide changes to legislation. In 2021 it became clear that the Rick Bestwick brand, while known for quality and reliability, didn’t reflect the forward-thinking and technologically innovative direction the business was taking. It was therefore decided to proceed with the name that had brought the business together and envisioned the future it would strive towards, Magnavale.
