Premier Foods Plc is a United Kingdom–based manufacturer and marketer of grocery and sweet-bake products, operating primarily under a portfolio of well-known consumer brands. Its offerings span ambient sauces, soups and stocks, dessert mixes and snacks, as well as premium cakes and pastries. The company’s flagship names include Mr Kipling, Bisto, Oxo, Ambrosia and Branston, which are sold through major UK supermarkets, independent retailers and foodservice channels.
The company traces its roots to a management buy-out of the food division of Hillsdown Holdings in 2002 and expanded significantly with the acquisition of RHM (Rank Hovis McDougall) in 2007. In the years that followed, Premier Foods restructured its brand portfolio, divesting non-core assets to concentrate on high-growth grocery and cake categories. Manufacturing facilities are located across the United Kingdom, supported by central administration and research-and-development functions headquartered in St Albans, England.
Premier Foods serves customers in the UK and Ireland, with select export relationships in Europe, Asia and North America. The company supplies leading retail chains as well as catering and foodservice operators, emphasizing supply chain efficiency, product innovation and customer collaboration. It has also invested in digital and e-commerce channels to meet changing consumer shopping habits.
Leadership at Premier Foods is provided by an executive team led by Chief Executive Officer Alex Whitehouse and a board of non-executive directors. The management team focuses on driving brand equity, operational excellence and sustainability initiatives, aiming to deliver consistent, long-term growth in staple and indulgence food categories. Premier Foods continues to leverage its heritage brands and manufacturing scale to respond to evolving consumer tastes and retailer requirements.
