The company, which has sites in North London and Slough in addition to its Newry headquarters, has taken on the investment from Whiterock to help it build on its existing growth trajectory and footprint.
Around Noon manufactures food-to-go products including sandwiches, wraps, salads, breakfast and hot deli options, snack pots and bakery items.
Gareth Chambers, chief executive of Around Noon, said: “We see huge growth opportunities in the UK and Ireland, and taking on equity backing will be incredibly helpful to us in being able to scale significantly. We are grateful to the Whiterock team for their support and expertise and believe they can play a very valuable role in the next phase of Around Noon and our growth.”
Around Noon supplies over four million products every month into sectors including convenience and supermarket retail, contract catering and events, travel, education, forecourt and coffee.
Paul Millar, chief executive of Whiterock, added: “Around Noon is an incredible story of Northern Ireland business success and a company that is truly respected in the food to go sector. We are extremely pleased to partner with Gareth and the team to help them realise their ambitions for further growth.
“Beyond capital, we provide strategic guidance, industry insight, and access to a wider network to support management teams through their next phase of growth and we are incredibly excited about what we believe Around Noon can achieve.”
