Sustainability

As a leading UK food-to-go manufacturer, we accept accountability for our environmental footprint, from electricity usage and food waste to the entire supply chain.
This is not a paper exercise; it is operational change driven by innovation to achieve Net Zero through genuine reduction and not external offsetting!

We firmly believe offsetting is akin to throwing your rubbish into someone else’s garden, reduction is the only viable path.

We are constantly finding ways to close the loop on waste and take control of our ingredient sourcing. 

• Waste-to-Energy: Since 2014, we have maintained closed-loop systems with partners like Wicks Manor Farm and redirected all food waste to anaerobic digesters that help power Chelmsford.
• The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread: In 2010 we started the tomato revolution as true pioneers by saying goodbye to the soggy sandwich and hello to Intense™ tomatoes. We were the first to introduce these to the UK market as leading innovation specialists and even sparking attention from Channel 4 with our very own documentary with Food Unwrapped (still available on catchup!).  We still use Intense™ tomatoes to this day and now so does the rest of the UK sandwich industry!
• Long-Term Milestones: We were among the first in 2009 to carbon footprint a sandwich. Our ongoing work includes using only FSC-certified card and moving our delivery fleet to electric vehicles on short rounds.
