With a vibrant history spanning 100+ years, today Noble Foods is the leading supplier of farm-fresh eggs to the major retailers and prides itself on an excellent nationwide service from modern, well-invested packing centres. Noble Foods is the market leader in the UK for egg products and has a wide range of products that can meet the needs of small and large food businesses alike.
Noble Foods – From Humble Beginnings
In 1920, armed with nothing more than a straw-lined wicker basket and a horse and cart, William Dean started collecting eggs from smallholders and selling them door-to-door in and around Tring in Hertfordshire.
The business prospered and it wasn’t long before William and his family were selling eggs into local grocery stores and supermarkets in the south. Deans Farms had a clear vision, seeing themselves as much more than simple egg packers, and it wasn’t long before they expanded and began to acquire other companies.
The Deans’ had a thirst for acquisition and innovation; in 1988 they bought Goldenlay, followed by Dell and Hardie in 1997 forming the business Deans Foods. The new millennium saw further acquisition with Daylay, then Freshlay joining the group.
In 2006 Deans Foods became Noble Foods and the portfolio expanded further. Gü Puds then joined the group and is now the number one brand in UK premium desserts. The passion for innovation continued too, with Noble Foods launching the happy egg co. in 2009, which fast became the UK’s leading egg brand.
In 2025 Noble Foods was granted the Royal Warrant as Supplier of Eggs to His Majesty The King, having previously held a Royal Warrant as Supplier of Eggs to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
The Creation of Noble Green Energy
The original business on which Noble Green Energy is based was founded in 2010, as the renewable energy arm of Bowler Eggs Group, to provide energy and cost savings on company farms.
The reputation and size of the company soon grew, leading Noble Foods to buy the business in 2015, creating Noble Green Energy. This has enabled the group to invest in the knowledge, skills and experience to diversify into other renewable technology solutions and services.
Today Noble Green Energy has over a decade of experience in commercial solar PV solutions. We are proud to be part of the Noble Foods Group and align with the group purpose “To better nourish people, animals and planet”.
When you partner with Noble Green Energy for your sustainable solar PV solutions, you have the full backing of the Noble Foods Group.
