Food-to-go manufacturer Around Noon has officially opened its newest manufacturing facility at Slough Trading Estate following continued strong business performance last year.
Located close to London Heathrow, the new 30,000 sq. ft. factory becomes the group’s fifth manufacturing facility in the UK and Ireland and its second in the South East of England.
It will increase the manufacturing capacity of the firm’s Slough operations by £50 million.
The expansion comes as Around Noon continues to record strong organic growth, with net sales rising by 21 per cent in 2024.
Gareth Chambers, CEO of Around Noon, said, “This is a significant moment for our business.
"We are on track to achieve £100m turnover and this new facility will play a key role in accelerating growth towards that target and beyond as we continue to expand our presence and market share.
"The opening of our new Slough facility is the culmination of years of work and a huge team effort. It’s a site we’re incredibly proud to showcase and one that reflects our scaling ambitions.”
Around Noon produces chilled, hot and frozen food-to-go across a range of product categories, including sandwiches, wraps, salads, breakfast and hot deli options, snack pots, bakery products and natural fruit juices.
It supplies over 4.4 million products every month to industries including travel, forecourt, convenience and supermarket retail, the café and coffee shop industry, contract catering, healthcare, education and industry.
The food-to-go manufacturer is known for its high-quality chilled, hot and frozen products including sandwiches, wraps, salads and baked goods. Last year in October, it was recognised in three of the most prestigious performance-based company listings in the UK and Ireland.
Around Noon recently collected trophies for The Sunday Times 100, the annual ranking of the UK’s fastest growing private companies with revenues of less than £250 million, where it was ranked in 96th place.
The business also picked up its trophy for placing 45th in the FEBE Growth 100, which ranks the fastest growing companies in the UK where the founders are still involved.
