English Provender Company (EPC) supplies a wide range of products including chutneys, table sauces, ingredients, salad dressings, marinades and ethnic foods. Customers include the major supermarket chains as well as the UK’s biggest food manufacturers. The company has an annual turnover of over £100 million and employs over 500 staff.

EPC was founded locally and moved to the business park in 1995, becoming one of the Trust's first tenants. The company has steadily and regularly increased its footprint on the park. 16,000 sq ft in 1995 will rise to around 150,000 in 2020. The building of a state-of-the art major new manufacturing facility took place in 2004.

The growth is continuing. Two temporary structures to the south of Buckner Croke Way will shortly be replaced by a permanent distribution facility, which will extend from the manufacturing building and bring the company’s manufacturing and distribution under one roof.

James Logan, the Company’s Managing Director, commented “ We are delighted to announce the latest phase of our investment programme here on the business park. This project gives EPC the space to expand and provides the facilities to deliver our exciting plans for the future as we look to grow our business to £150m and beyond.” 8 www.englishprovender.com Availability touching base 13 Liberty House
