Our long history of food excellence

English Provender Company has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Edward Billington & Son Ltd since 1998. The Billington Group is a growing family of trading and manufacturing businesses in Food and Agriculture sectors.


By 2004 our business had grown to be a key supplier for the UK’s major food retailers and moved into purpose-built facilities in Newbury. In the same year we acquired Suffolk Foods and welcomed its process expertise and wider customer base into the fold.


In 2007 we acquired another successful sauce producer, Alembic Products Ltd. The products from this business are now produced in a wide variety of plastic formats, such as dip pots, sachets and stick packs at our Newport site.

Passion. Innovation. Knowledge... The perfect ingredients for fine foods

At English Provender Company we’ve nurtured a can-do culture that’s always inclusive and encourages our people to listen, understand and engage with each other.

We’re a spirited, adventurous and resourceful team, and we think these qualities make for something pretty unique and coveted these days.

From the mayonnaise and chutneys we create to the management styles and choices we make, everything is guided by our core company values: Creativity, Agility, Respect and Excellence. It's these values that make us look forward to coming to work everyday and make EPC a great place to work:

  • A place where our individual and collective hard work and results are recognised
  • A place where we treat each other with respect
  • A place where our suggestions are encouraged and welcomed
  • A place that gives us the resources and responsibility to do our jobs well
  • A place that gives us the training and development we need to improve
