Around Noon acquires the Soho Sandwich Company for undisclosed sum
Food-to-go (FTG) manufacturer Around Noon announced today it acquired London FTG business the Soho Sandwich Company for an undisclosed sum.
The acquisition adds more than 300 employees to Around Noon's existing headcount of around 500, as well as a new production facility in north London and a range of blue-chip clients. The company was founded in Northern Ireland in 1989 and produces a range of chilled, hot, frozen and bakery products from five manufacturing sites across the UK and Ireland.
The Soho Sandwich Company, which started as a small coffee shop in north London over 20 years ago and now manufactures and distributes more than 15 million sandwiches every year, will continue to operate under its own brand within the Around Noon group. It will continue to service its portfolio of customers across food service, events and hospitality. The company will also continue to be managed by its managing director Daniel Silverston.
Gareth Chambers, CEO of Around Noon Foods, said: "We've been admirers of the Soho Sandwich Company for some time. The business has a strong reputation for quality, excellence and innovation. This represents a fantastic opportunity for all involved due to the incredible alignment in terms of our values and core purpose."
Howard Farquhar, Around Noon chairman, added that the deal will enable Around Noon to achieve its target of £100m revenue.
Daniel Silverton, managing director of the Soho Sandwich Company, said: "Around Noon is in our view one of the most innovative and exciting FTG companies in the UK. The opportunity to become part of the Around Noon group is a huge win for our business. There are great synergies in terms of ambition and culture and the move is extremely beneficial, for our team and our customers."
