That was how I got in. They were developing new biscuit ranges and need small orders at short notice to test bake. I used to run em up the motorway in me ol' mum's Volvo estate. Got the contract and the product took off, for a while in the early 90s we were making 10 grand a month from em (raw material price fell off a cliff but the buyer refused a reduction as "a deal is a deal")
