🌟 A Nutty Success Story from Wrexham! 🌟
Who would’ve thought a small idea in Wales could turn into a multi-million pound business? Nestled at Redwither Business Park in Wrexham, a 60-person team at Meridian is making waves with what they claim to be the finest peanut butter in the country. 🥜
Founded back in the 1980s by Andrew Jedwell, who moved to North Wales from London, Meridian was ahead of its time by insisting on pure, unprocessed nut butter. Fast forward to today, and Meridian is a giant in the food industry with its jars flying off the shelves not only in the UK but across 11 other countries too! 🌍
67-year-old Chris Ullein, an ex-swimming pool manager, now leads a squad of expert roasters ensuring each batch is of top-notch quality. As one of the company’s longest-serving employees, Chris believes precise roasting is key to that perfect nutty flavour.
Chief Nut Officer, Tolu Olusi, believes the trend towards healthier, more natural choices is what keeps their products in demand. 🥄 Whether it’s for health enthusiasts or families looking for cleaner eating options, Meridian’s nut butters have become a kitchen staple.
Their secret? Keeping it simple with just nuts, skin and all, preserving those essential fibres and nutrients. No palm oil or preservatives here!
Their new “protein peanut butter” range is a testament to their innovation — truly there’s never been a better time to love nut butter! 🥄💪
The brand’s growth is a testament to the shift towards healthier eating, and their story is a fantastic reminder that humble beginnings can lead to incredible success. So next time you spread some on toast or blend it into a smoothie, know that you’re enjoying a product that’s small-town Welsh ingenuity at its best.
