Food-to-go specialist Around Noon to open 6th UK manufacturing site
Abstract
Around Noon is set to open a major new factory at Slough Trading Estate near London that will create up to 200 new jobs as part of an investment plan.

The company, which recently acquired the North London-based Soho Sandwich Company, has enjoyed strong organic growth, including securing a series of large contracts in the travel, foodservice and coffee sectors.

Around Noon manufactures items such as sandwiches, salads, wraps and fruit pots for airlines, coffee chains and caterers. This new factory will allow the company to increase its manufacturing capacity in Slough alone by circa £50m.

Gareth Chambers, chief executive of Around Noon, said: “We have grown our run rate at Around Noon in Slough from £4 million per annum in 2018 to around £30m per annum today. We now manufacture over 400,000 products per week at the existing Slough factory and we are really pleased to have secured additional premises at Slough Trading Estate to support our ongoing growth.”

The new facility is undergoing a major renovation in line with the developer’s ‘Responsible SEGRO’ commitment to champion low-carbon growth.
