Thornbury food firm reverts to original name
Gloucestershire-based ingredients supplier Renshawnapier Thornbury is rebranding as Garrett Ingredients, the company’s original family name when it was first formed in 1948.
The company said its decision was made by the management team earlier this year in an effort to “regain the company’s own identity and stand proud of its heritage”.
Garrett Ingredients was created just after the Second World War when its founder, Alan Garrett, left the army to become an agent for several British food companies. He built the company on supplying raw materials to smaller businesses that were struggling to source them.
Garrett Ingredients changed hands in 1990 and developed into new areas to become part of the Real Good Food Company as Renshawnapier Thornbury.
Garrett Ingredients trading director Tom Fowler, who heads its Thornbury operation, said: “We have been a major player in UK food manufacturing for several years, initially as Garrett Ingredients for 42 years and more recently as Renshawnapier Thornbury. We are proud of our long heritage in the industry and we feel that the Garrett Ingredients name better presents the high level of technical expertise and customer service upon which we have built our reputation over the past seven decades.”
Garrett Ingredients will remain a division of Renshawnapier and part of the Real Good food Company.
