At Shufflebottom we’re always delighted to hear stories of local business success. None more so than our near-neighbour, Carmarthenshire-based Frank’s Ice-Cream.

Shufflebottom is delighted to announce that one of its steel-framed agricultural buildings now sits proudly on the fields of a Surrey farm, owned by world-famous creative artist, the sculptor, Nic Fiddian-Green.

Since 2017 Bargoed Farm has been giving a warm Welsh welcome and showcasing the best of Wales all in one place. The original farm has diversified to accommodate a farm shop, butchery, bistro, fishing, camping, caravans and glamping in the most glorious landscape in the heart of the Ceredigion countryside between Aberaeron and Newquay.

Like many great stories and Hollywood movies, our initial blog posted on 3rd March 2020, about Shufflebottom’s involvement with the development of the new Merthyr Tydfil Bus Station, warrants a sequel. In fact, we signed off that first post with the words: “More news and images as the project progresses at speed!”

Today, Cross Hands’ based Frank’s is a global brand, supplying UK supermarket chains – Sainsbury, Tesco, Morrisons, Asda – the NHS, and emerging markets in the Middle East, with their delicious and ever-expanding range of special ice-creams made with passion, flair and the best of Welsh ingredients.

Shufflebottom steel is at the heart of Cardiff University's new Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC), officially opened by Queen Elizabeth on Tuesday June 7th 2016.
