Established in 1989 by Francis and Sheila Chambers in Newry, Around Noon began as a family business providing sandwiches to local businesses. Over three decades, the company has grown and is now under the leadership of Sheila’s son, Gareth Chambers. Around Noon has transformed into a national producer of food-to-go options, including sandwiches, salads, snacks, and bespoke catering services. Their products can be found in a variety of retail outlets, cafes and at corporate events and in 2024 sales reached £82.2m. The company recently opened a 30,000sqft production unit in Slough adding to three other sites in Newry, and a plant in north London.
