About Noble Foods


Noble Foods is a leading supplier of fresh food brands to major retailers and consumers.

The UK’s leading supplier of fresh eggs to the major retailers and each week they individually grade, pack and deliver over 72 million eggs for their customers.

The origins of Noble Foods can be traced back to the early 1920s, when a young man called William Dean collected eggs from small holders and sold them door to door around the Tring area of Hertfordshire. In the decades following, William Dean and his family successfully grew their business and also began to acquire new businesses. Throughout that time they had a clear outlook and did not just see themselves as egg packers, more as innovative egg marketers!

The desire for acquisition and innovation carried on into the latter part of the century and in 1988 the Dean family also purchased Goldenlay, along with Dell & Hardie in 1997. The early part of the 21st century also saw the acquisition of Daylay and then Freshlay. In 2006 the then owner of Stonegate, Michael Kent, acquired half the business forming the Noble Foods we know today.

Noble Foods have also established the happy egg company., which is currently the UK’s largest free-range egg brand. The philosophy of the happy egg company. is to put the welfare of the hens first and have won several awards for their commitment to hen welfare, including ’The Good Egg Award’ from Compassion in World Farming in July 2011.

The Noble Foods brand portfolio currently includes:

the happy egg company.
Purely Organic
Heritage Breeds
Big & Fresh
