Premier Foods PLC (OTCMKTS:PFODF) is a leading branded food producer in the United Kingdom, specialising in the manufacture, marketing and sale of ambient grocery products for both retail and foodservice channels. The company operates through three core divisions—Sweet Treats, Grocery, and International & Foodservice—supplying a broad array of shelf-stable items to major supermarket chains, wholesalers and hospitality operators. Its portfolio combines long-standing heritage names with licensed brands to address evolving consumer tastes.
At the heart of Premier Foods’ offering are iconic UK brands such as Mr Kipling cakes, Ambrosia rice puddings and custards, Batchelors soups and pot noodles, Bisto gravies and sauces, Bird’s custard and breadcrumbs, Sharwood’s Asian cooking sauces, and Oxo stock cubes. These products are manufactured across a network of UK facilities, enabling efficient production scheduling and integrated supply-chain management. The company also provides co-manufacturing and private-label packing services for leading grocery retailers.
Premier Foods traces its roots to early 20th-century food operations and has grown significantly through targeted acquisitions of ambient cooking sauce, dessert and baking businesses from multinational groups over the past two decades. This strategic consolidation has sharpened the company’s focus on core branded categories, streamlined manufacturing processes and accelerated new-product innovation, while preserving the heritage value of its legacy labels.
While the UK remains Premier Foods’ primary market, its International & Foodservice division exports to more than 40 countries across Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia, and supports foodservice channels such as catering and hospitality. The business is led by chief executive Alex Whitehouse, who brings extensive experience in fast-moving consumer goods and is supported by a leadership team dedicated to sustainability, operational excellence and growth through innovation.
