/ BRANSTON LTD
Branston Ltd is the leading, dedicated supplier of potatoes to Tesco.
A privately owned company with a strong balance sheet and superb record of investment, Branston employs the very best people and works with some of the country’s most progressive growers.
With sites in Lincoln, Somerset and Scotland ,Branston has convenient access to the highest quality product the UK has to offer. Plus, its high care factory in Lincolnshire has added a new dimension to our business; prepared potato products.
The company is proud of its innovative approach to business, which means Branston continually creates new product ideas and ways of working.
No wonder then that Branston has been able to develop such a close and long-standing partnership with the UK’s largest retailer, Tesco.
Branston was established in 1969 but its partnership with Tesco began. Since then, business has just got better and better. Today, the company represents 66% of Tesco fresh potato sales and supplies 255,000 tonnes of the highest quality product every year. 200,000 tonnes come from Branston's own sites in Lincolnshire, Somerset and Scotland, with a further 55,000 tonnes produced by its Tesco alliance partner, QV Foods.
So it comes as no surprise that Branston's business focus is firmly on Tesco and its customers. But to make sure the company also gives its loyal growers the best service, a further 110,000 tonnes are marketed other outlets, including processors and food service companies.
