about

A little more about us…

FT Short was formed in 1943, growing and packing produce for local blue chip factories. After a period of steady growth, David Carter purchased the business from the Shorts family in 2004, taking the company forwards into a dynamic new phase as a contract packing and reworking specialist. Andrew Carter and Paul Mears bought the operation in 2012 to continue the growth and expansion into new markets.
