Together, we bring delicious food to life. Our products cover every meal occasion from breakfast through to dinner and dessert, with lunch and snacking in between. In FY25, our shared passion helped us achieve combined revenues of approximately £4bn.
Our extensive direct to store (DTS) network, with 17 depots across the UK, allows us to deliver fresh and frozen food both our own and from trusted partners to thousands of stores every day, ensuring consumers enjoy the very best, whenever and wherever they shop.
Our site in Park Royal, West London, spans three factories and a distribution centre. The site produces a variety of chilled ready meals, houmous dips, deli products, and savoury accompaniments, employing over 2,000 people in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
